I hate to break it to you, but your team hates the morning huddle. I’m sure you already knew this but didn’t want to admit it. Just look at their faces—they’d rather do anything other than reviewing today’s objectives. You might as well stab a fork in their eyes!
The morning huddle is all work and no play. It’s one item on your to-do list, and the sooner you get it over with, the better. Why would you ever approach your practice with that mentality? The team should come to work looking forward to the morning huddle.
Get the energy flowing with a funny video. But not just any funny video—show the team something that educates while making them laugh. A quick video adds value to the huddle and gives food for thought. And you’ll start every day on the right foot!
I’ve got a video for you. Show your team this two-minute clip about how to make the most of your day. I’ll share some tips for time management . . . and my cocktail of Gobstoppers, Skittles, and Pixy Stix.
Have a great day!
