#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

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.
