The 1% Improvement Challenge

Encouraging your team to improve can feel daunting if you aim for large-scale changes. The “1% Improvement Challenge” shifts the focus to incremental, achievable progress by asking for just 1% improvement on each project or deliverable. This approach builds a growth mindset, fosters ownership, and makes high-quality work an attainable goal without pressure. By focusing on small, consistent improvements, your team gradually increases the overall quality of their work, cultivating a steady, manageable path to excellence.
