Here are 5 Valuable Tips to Reignite Team Spirit:
Desire to Win. Remember the Eye of the Tiger? Part of management's job is to coach. You need to give your team a reason to want to win--a reason to show up, apart from just collecting a paycheck. When the fight starts to fade, watch out... the vultures will start circling.
Strong Leadership. Your team needs assurance that they can trust you, rely on you and be successfully coached by you. If not, they will shut down one by one for lack of respect and the foundation of the team will slowly corrode.
Need to Feel Valued. Employees need to know that you see and hear them and that their contributions are important. If they don't feel valued, they will start to retreat and that's when apathy can set in.
Get an Alignment. Make sure the right people are in the right places.
Encourage Winners Along the Way. Imagine your employees as mountain climbers with the summit as their ultimate goal. What a difference it would make if management cheered him or her on as they successfully maneuvered each new hand and foothold toward their final destination. Praise and recognition inspire the whole team. Don't wait until they arrive--do it along the way!
