Manager Tip - Keep It Moving

Posted by Shaun Callahan Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:34:00 GMT

Today’s Manager Tip comes from Torin Ellis, creator of the Monday Mover Groupsite at mondaymover.collectivex.com.

Torin shares:

“Monday Mover is a unique group of professional strangers. While 80% of CollectiveX groups today are private, Monday Mover is a public, professional group. Anyone can join. We’re vibrant and productive, but also growing “not in the typical group” kind of way. We don’t have a pre-existing connection or association from which we spring.

Knowing that going in, I developed a solid process to keep members engaged after joining. From day one, I’ve found that consistent and demonstrative communication is extremely effective. I send an email blast to my entire group every Monday. Every message includes a few things each of them can do to become more engaged with the group and see a greater return on involvement. I then try to follow my own advice by being a regularly active member myself.”

Here are some examples of Torrin’s messages to his group…
