#5 Encourage and allow staff to dedicate time to professional development. Suggested by Scott River, Olympia, WA.
#4 Create manuals for core processes so everyone knows how key tasks are completed, such as registration, cancellations, refunds, hiring, etc. Suggested by Michael Seppi, Ellisville, MO.
#3 Check in frequently with your team. Explain the ‘Why’ to your team. Suggested by Christina Swets, Glencoe, IL.
#2 Take small steps towards bigger goals. You’ll be amazed how a little momentum goes a long way! Suggested by Scott River, Olympia, WA
#1 Remember to keep your “why” or your end goal in sight. It helps cut through unnecessary layers that can sidetrack you from results.  Suggested by Beth Pinargote, Glencoe, IL
From a list of the top 40 ideas from the last big LERN conference, a panel of 15 LERN Leaders voted on the top five.  All five, interestingly, had to do with team building and accomplishing goals.
