Increase enthusiasm for the project goals. If there's no enthusiasm, then the project is just a job. If there's no enthusiasm, your staff will frequently check the clock to see how much longer until lunch or until they leave the parking lot. If there's no enthusiasm, tremendous opportunities will be lost. On the other hand, if enthusiasm runs high, then the goals become exciting challenges.
Enthusiastic employees continue to think about their projects after they leave the workplace.
While driving, showering, watching TV or taking a walk, thoughts of work problems arise. Furthermore, these unpaid work hours can be the most productive of the week. Most of my ideas arose away from work. These quiet times permit the mind to wander into territories and combinations that weren't considered in the office, where the pressure to focus on the immediate task takes priority over imagination.
