In the world of teamwork, having a leader who can raise the performance of their team is nothing short of magical. That much-needed energy can help turn ordinary into extraordinary. It's not rocket science; it's a conscious decision to "raise the roof" and create an environment where enthusiasm thrives!

As the iconic singer Seal once reminded us, "we are never going to survive unless... we get a little crazy." In the realm of our daily work, there's ample room to "pump up the jam" and add a little excitement to the time we spend with our team.

Here's a few ideas to spark fun with your team:

• Surprise Lunch Adventure: Plan a surprise by scheduling a fake patient just after the regular lunch hour. Watch as a regular lunch break transforms into a spontaneous team outing—perhaps a fun trip to a nearby eatery followed by a round of miniature golf.
• Early Morning Dance Party: Start the day on a high note by showing up a little early and cranking up the tunes to "dance level." Create an atmosphere where enthusiasm sets the tone for the entire day.
• Charitable Initiatives: Channel the positive energy within your team towards a meaningful cause. Consider starting a fundraising drive for a cause close to your hearts, whether it's collecting cash or donations for a local shelter or supporting a community project.

How do you infuse energy into the culture of your practice? What creative initiatives have you implemented to add fun and meaning to your team dynamics? Let's make work a place where enthusiasm thrives, and the journey is as rewarding as the destination.
