What fuels a team’s fire?

Is collective motivation just a spark, or can it become a sustained blaze? This week on Nodal Leadership, we dive into the art and science of stoking collective willpower to achieve shared goals. Drawing inspiration from Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman’s Hope Rising and the incredible energy of dynamic teams, we explore:

• Why individual "fire" is essential, but collective "FIRE" transforms outcomes.
• The habits of high-performing teams that cultivate shared motivation.
• Our FIRE framework to help teams stay focused, inspired, and resilient, even when challenges arise.

This isn’t about carrots or sticks; it’s about kindling a better future together.
