Let’s do this!

I’ve found that this is the kind of attitude you’re trying to nurture in leading a group: Let’s do this!

It captures precisely the kind of energy that we’re going to need to do some hard work while having fun. And it conveys a sense of personal commitment to achieving the group’s result.

Even pride.

Let’s: We’re doing this together, we know who’s involved and who’s going to need to do the work.

Do: It’s about action. We’re not just talking about it, not just feeling good together.

This: There’s something tangible that we’re doing, and we know what it is. It’s the specific tangible result that’s driving us forward.

!: We’re going to have some fun doing it. Maybe not always in the playful sense, we might have some hard work ahead of us. But we’re going to experience joy at the end.

So are you ready to get started? Is the team energized?
