Attract the right things.

“If you don’t know what you want you will always attract the wrong things in life.” —Anonymous

The Problem

Teams miss opportunities in their eagerness to reach the finish line.

The Solution

Let people know what you want, and make the benefits obvious.

  • Clarify what you need.[121] Be clear about the opportunities, roles, technology, and rewards for participation. Show how a mutually beneficial relationship can be had, and ask those interested to confirm their understanding so expectations can be matched. Don’t assume you know what everyone wants or that they know what they have to do.
