How can we engage and encourage the teams to live the new ‘guiding principles’

To engage and encourage teams to live by the new ‘guiding principles,’ it is important to clearly communicate the principles, provide training and support, and lead by example. For example, if a company introduces a new guiding principle of collaboration, they can hold workshops or team-building activities to help employees understand the importance of working together towards a common goal. Providing real-life examples of successful collaboration within the company can also inspire teams to embrace the new principle. According to a study by Gallup, companies with highly engaged teams are 21% more profitable. This shows that investing in employee engagement can have a tangible impact on the bottom line. An analogy to understand this concept is that of a sports team. Just like a coach sets out guiding principles for the team to follow in order to achieve success, a company can implement guiding principles to help teams work together effectively and reach their goals. By fostering a culture that values and supports these principles, teams are more likely to adopt and live by them.
