20 things any manager can do to make their teams love Mondays

And none require a special set of skills

A managers mission is to make their team love Mondays. If this feels hard, let me make it easy: here are 20 things you can do that require no special skill 👇

Be the example they look for 
Introduce them to great content 
Show them what great looks like
Acknowledge their wins in public 
Push their assumptions into truth
Promote them in a fair, public way 
Stretch them beyond their comfort 
Criticise them with facts, in private 
Hire someone they think is a rockstar
Connect them to someone they admire 
Get them in rooms they haven’t been yet
Improve a process that slows them down 
Give them a vision that gets them excited 
Narrow down their focus so they deliver more
Let them try and fail on experiments and ideas
Make the quality of their work exponentially better
Give them data instead of insight when they want data
Give them insight instead of data when they want insight
Occasionally join them “in the trenches” and share the workload
Respect what matters for them, and make others respect it as well

It’s no rocket science.
