One of the things that I enjoy about coaching teams is that every team is unique and different. In fact, teams often have their own code language. For example, when one of the members of teams I recently coached would get side-tracked or long-winded, the members of the team would say: ELMO! This was followed by light laughter and the team would move on to a more productive use of its time.
I later discovered that ELMO stands for: Enough Let’s Move On!
The next time your team gets bogged down or side-tracked, consider saying ELMO!
All the best to you,
I’ve gone from scratchy AM radio to full HD cinema surround sound!
