Dreams NOT Goals to Build a High Performing Team

Dreams NOT Goals to Build High Performing Teams What’s the first thing you think of when you read the word “dream”? Chances are, the first thing you thought of was something “fanciful” that isn’t real. Or perhaps you thought of something that you do when you sleep, but often do not remember. What if I were to suggest to you that dreaming actually works better than goal setting? You probably feel like I just committed heresy! But what if dreaming actually improved your team morale, created higher production and led to more profitability. Now you think I am just crazy. I’m not. And on this episode of A New Direction Division Manager for Vector Marketing, and Best-selling author Dane Espegard joins me to talk about a structured way to get your team to dream that will turn them into high-performers. You may not understand it now, but it will be worth the listen to change you and your team into the people you always hoped they would be. Dane Espegard‘s book, “The Dream Machine: A Leader’s Guide to Creating Teams of High Performers Who Achieve Extraordinary Outcomes” intentionally challenges our thinking. First, it challenges us with the idea that Dreamstorming is more effective than goal setting.  He makes a great case that explains through research and his own team results. Second, he challenges us that as adults we need to get past our skepticism of “Dreaming is just for Kids” and realize that dreaming as an adult actually contributes to our well-being on many different levels both personally and professionally. Dane does a great job giving us relevant, relatable research.  The book is solid.  If you have a “growth mindset” and an “open mindset”.  This reader is convinced it works and is ready to implement immediately. Another great aspect to this book is that Dane Espegard doesn’t just tell you why dreaming is important to achieving, but gives you the tools to do it! Literally, a step-by-step guide to creating your own dream retreat. The Dream Machine is a great book!  I’m so glad I read it.  Need to run, because I must create my 100 dream, dream list.
