Nicole’s team beat yesterday’s numbers. “Nicole, I want to add another element to your day. I want you to add three 5-minute huddles with your team. One in the morning, one after the mid-morning break and one at the afternoon break.

“In this meeting, I want you to go over the numbers from yesterday. If we beat yesterday, I want you to give your team a complimentary remark. No pizza. No days off. Just a little appreciation.

“Use these meetings to focus your team on the goal.” -TF
