Reaffirm how important it is for the leader to get the ball rolling in
planning a celebration. People need to know, up front, that the leader
believes there is something worth celebrating.
Review who else might be involved. Outline these roles:
- The Celebration Team: Create a small group of people who can help
plan celebrations. Membership in this team should rotate periodically. - The Event Planner: Include the company planner, but don’t make him
or her totally responsible. - The Project or Team Leader: This person needs to plan how and why
to celebrate at various points in the project’s “life,” as well as at the
completion of the project. Milestones are important times.
Step 4: Pose the following questions for discussion:
What have you learned about celebrations?
What is your plan of action?
Now GET READY TO CELEBRATE!
