Monday Team Leadership Challenge 10: Set One “Team Win” Goal for the Week
Monday Team Leadership Challenge 10: Set One “Team Win” Goal for the Week
Some Team Members Show Up. But Real Leaders Move Things Forward.
In every team, there’s a difference between showing up and leading.
Some people log in, check boxes, and reply to what’s in front of them.
But leaders? They bring something else into the room —
direction.
They don’t just carry energy. They create clarity.
Because high-performance teams aren’t powered by speed alone.
They grow when someone says:
“Here’s where we’re going — and I’m pushing with you.”
The Challenge: Set One “Team Win” Goal for the Week
When: Monday Morning
This challenge kicks off the week with clarity and intention.
While most teams fall into task mode, this invites one person to step up and focus the group on a shared outcome.
“You don’t need to lead the whole plan. You just need to light the path.”
What to Do:
On Monday morning, identify and share one clear, outcome-focused team goal for the week — and show how you’ll help move it forward.
This can happen:
- In your team Slack or Teams channel
- In your weekly stand-up
- In a planning doc
- Or as a 1:1 nudge to the group
✅ Examples:
- “Let’s make sure the client brief is final by Thursday — I’ll draft version one today.”
- “I want us to finish this week with zero open questions on the launch checklist — I’ll take the first review pass.”
- “Let’s close the loop on last month’s survey insights — I’ll prep a summary deck by Wednesday.”
Why This Small Habit Builds Big Leadership Presence
✅ Most People Operate in Task Mode
They’re focused on “What’s on my list?”
But task-mode is reactive — and reactive teams rarely innovate.
✅ Leaders Think in Outcomes
They ask: “What would success look like for us — not just me — by the end of this week?”
That mindset is what creates visible momentum. It rallies people.
It builds trust.
“Leadership lives in outcome mode — where progress becomes intentional and visible.”
The Leadership Skills This Builds
This challenge sharpens three powerful muscles every modern team needs:
✅ Outcome Thinking
You shift from action-for-action’s-sake to driving toward clear results.
✅ Shared Accountability
You signal that success isn’t just personal — it’s collective. And everyone has a role to play.
✅ Goal-Focused Initiative
You model leadership by setting a goal and making the first move. That momentum creates a ripple.
Pitfall to Watch: Getting Stuck in “My Tasks” Thinking
The Mistake:
You’re busy — so you default to just checking off what’s on your plate.
But in doing that, you miss the bigger question:
“What are we building together this week?”
✅ The Fix:
Zoom out.
Pick
one outcome that would move the team forward.
Then take the first step to lead it — visibly, publicly, and with care.
“When you lead a goal, you lead a mindset shift.”
How to Use This Challenge in Real-World Team Settings
🔹 In Monday Stand-Ups
Begin or end the meeting by stating your “team win” for the week — and the action you’ll take.
“This week, my goal is for us to finalize the campaign concept — I’ll book the strategy sync.”
🔹 In Slack or Teams
Start a “This Week’s Win” thread where team members post their outcome goal.
“My team win goal: wrap onboarding docs by Thursday. I’ll organize them today.”
🔹 In 1:1s or Small Pods
If you’re part of a smaller group, ask:
“What would make this week feel like a win for us — not just for me?”
This builds visibility, trust, and collective energy.

FAQs: Driving Team Outcomes in Everyday Work
What if my team doesn’t normally set weekly goals?
Perfect reason to start. You don’t need to rewire the whole system — just be the one who plants the seed. Leadership begins with consistency, not consensus.
What if no one engages with my shared goal?
Stay steady. You’re still modeling leadership. And when people see you taking initiative without ego, they begin to trust your influence.
What if I’m not in a leadership role?
Even better. Outcome thinking from any level is a signal of maturity and leadership potential. Lead from where you are.
What if my week is packed already?
Make the goal doable — even if small. The power isn’t in the size. It’s in the clarity, intention, and shared value.
Weekly Summary: One Goal. One Leader. One Shift.
This isn’t about leading the whole team.
It’s about
leading one meaningful outcome — and doing it in a way that invites others to join you.
When you do that:
- People feel clarity
- Work becomes momentum
- Culture shifts from “busy” to purposeful
“You’re not just showing up. You’re showing others what’s possible.”
