How To Boost Team Productivity
By Team Kwanza Jones
What does it take to turn an unmotivated team into a powerhouse of productivity? If that’s a question you’ve been trying to answer for a while now, we’ve got some awesome tips for you.
Let's face it, a motivated and collaborative team is the secret sauce behind any successful organization, but they require care and support. And who better to learn from than our SUPERCHARGED® leader, Kwanza Jones who’s on a mission to boost a billion lives?
She’s not only a visionary, Kwanza is also a caring and supportive leader. She treats her team like family, or as she likes to call us, “Teamily.”
So, how does she work her magic and boost the team’s productivity? Let’s get into it.
Personal Growth Translates to Team Success 🚀
To keep it simple: Kwanza gets it. The modern workplace is like a rollercoaster, and employees need to keep up with new skills and knowledge. As she always says, “Life is all about learning and growing.”
In November of 2023, she invited Marion E. Brooks, an Internationally Certified Executive Coach, for an exclusive fireside chat with the team. Marion spoke about the importance of emotional intelligence and how it can help you succeed in life.
Kwanza also purchased his book titled, “What You Don't Know Is Hurting You: 4 Keys To A Phenomenal Career” for all team members as a resource to help us in our personal development journey.
The team felt grateful, loved, and motivated to do more for the company.
Create A Positive and Collaborative Work Environment 🤝
Our visionary leader believes in the saying, "Work hard and play hard." She understands the importance of balancing work and play which is why she organizes meaningful team bonding events throughout the year.
These events aren’t just for fun; they also play a crucial role in creating a positive work culture where we feel connected and supported by each other. Organizations that invest in such events often experience increased collaboration, productivity, and satisfaction among their team members. After all, a team that plays together stays together.
Boost Team Productivity with Volunteer Events 🗓️
Volunteer events aren't just about doing good for the community; they make the team feel good as well. By participating in these events, team members are able to feel a sense of fulfillment, and purpose.
Since our leader Kwanza is all about giving back, she makes sure to organize volunteer events every quarter for the SUPERCHARGED team, which aligns with her mission to boost a billion lives. She makes sure we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk; we're building playhouses for families in need, reorganizing spaces for The LA Mission, clearing storage for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California, and making toiletry kits for women at The Downtown Women's Center. It's not just charity; it's a bond that keeps us going.
To ensure maximum impact on employees, it’s important for organizations to design and implement volunteer programs that are aligned with their values, goals, and culture.
As businesses strive to create a positive and purpose-driven work culture, integrating volunteer opportunities into corporate initiatives is a powerful way to nurture a more engaged, motivated, and cohesive team.
Encourage Professional Development 🌱
One way to ensure productivity within your teams is to encourage them to learn new things and continuously improve. This will help them adapt to changes, work better, and innovate more.
Kwanza is awesome at this. She's got our backs with leadership training that cranks up our self-awareness, communication skills, and team dynamics. She doesn’t just cheer us on, she gives us the resources and support we need to succeed.
Our leader makes sure we have the opportunity to use what we learn. She creates a culture that allows team members to improve and try new things. With her approach, she’s not just shaping a great team; she's building an unstoppable force.
By investing in learning and providing opportunities for practice, you can create a team that is not only skilled but also excited and ready to face any challenge.
So, there you have it – the Kwanza way to a SUPERCHARGED team.
She doesn't just stop at the basics; she invests in personal growth, fosters a positive environment, gives back to the community, supports professional development, and keeps the team motivated. What she has created is more than just a team; it's a tight-knit Teamily.
Now it's your turn. Take a page from Kwanza's playbook, adapt it to your team, and watch the magic happen. Here's to a productive team!
