Running a business can feel isolating at times, like everything rests on your shoulders. But the truth is, your team can be your greatest asset in turning plans into results. That’s why Step 10 of the Plan, Profit, Prosper planner is all about bringing your team into the picture.

If you want to grow in 2026, you can’t do it alone. And the good news is, you don’t have to.

When your team understands where the business is heading, they’re far more likely to help you get there. Open communication builds trust, boosts motivation, and creates a sense of shared ownership.

Clarity Creates Confidence

When you clearly communicate your business goals, everything changes. Your team no longer has to guess what matters most, they know. And in today’s world of hybrid working, shifting regulations, and constant change, clarity removes confusion and builds confidence.

When everyone understands the direction of travel, teams naturally:

• Work more efficiently
• Collaborate more effectively
• Feel more secure in their roles

Instead of wondering 'Are we doing well?' or 'Where are we going?', your team is aligned, focused, and motivated.

Involve Them in Planning

Inclusion isn’t just a nice idea. It’s a smart strategy. When you involve your team in planning and decision-making, you tap into real insights from the people closest to the work.

Ask for their views. Get their suggestions. Listen to their concerns. This not only improves the quality of your decisions but also increases buy-in across the business.

Where transparency, culture, and progression are high priorities, inclusion leads to:

• Higher engagement
• Improved retention
• Less resistance to change

You may be surprised by the ideas your team can bring, from small fixes to big innovations.

Show Them the Bigger Picture

One of the most powerful things you can do as a leader is help every team member see their impact. When someone understands how their role contributes to the business’s success, it changes how they show up.

They take more ownership, work with purpose, and care about the outcome.

And in a world where employees are asking for more meaning, more development, and more visibility, connecting roles to the wider vision builds a stronger, more resilient culture.

Get the Business You Want

The best teams don’t just follow instructions, they move the business forward. But that only happens when they understand the goals and feel part of the journey.

Use Step 10 in the Plan, Profit, Prosper planner to involve your team in your 2026 vision.
