Huh?! My team is what?!
Think about it this way: When you go to the gym and sweat like a maniac doing a 40-minute routine that would kill an elephant, is that what builds your muscles?
No, that’s what tears your muscles. They grow stronger during the resting period.
Your team works the same way. NO ONE can run, push, work at 100%, 100% of the time. When we are so busy ‘doing,’ there is no room for learning! The learning happens in the downtime, when you can review, assess, analyze, question, absorb, rest, distract, make room for new ideas…when you can get better.
To build muscles: Exercise, Rest, Enjoy, Repeat.
To build teams: Work, Rest, Fun, Repeat.
If there’s no fun, no resting, no downtime to process, you won’t be able to achieve your full potential.
