Team challenges.
Goals the team can see.
The problem: Goals lived in a manager’s head, so accountability meant reminders and the same three people got all the credit. What it does: Teams watch their own standings; managers get a nudge about who needs help, not a list to shame people with.
- Used
- During week-long campaigns
- Who
- Whole floor, run by leads
- Runs on
- A floor screen and leads’ phones
Built in my previous retail management role and used by the team every day. This page recreates it with invented data; it isn’t a FlarePaths client project.
HOW THE WORKFLOW RUNS
From the first number
to the person who acts on it.
- Monday
Set the challenge
Pick the goal, the teams and how points count. Takes five minutes.
- Each shift
Count it once
Leads enter each team’s number in about thirty seconds.
- Live
Standings update
The floor screen shows totals, today’s best and streaks.
- End of day
Coach, don’t shame
Managers get one highlight to celebrate and one team to help.
- Friday
Recognize and reset
The podium gets recognized and the next challenge starts clean.
TRY IT
A working copy,
with invented numbers.
Friday’s counts are in. Change any team’s number for today and the standings, highlight and coaching nudge update. Target: 6 a day.

| 3 | Team Yucca | 49675 | 31 | |
| 4 | Team Prairie | 66434 | 23 |
CelebrateTeam Cotton had the best day: 9 sign-ups, a 3-day streak.
HelpCheck in with Team Prairie: under target 3 days running. Pair them with Team Cotton’s lead for an hour, not a lecture.
In a real project, the numbers come straight from your systems and the screens fit your names, your items and the way your team works. This copy shows the thinking.
WHAT CHANGED

- Tracking by hand on a whiteboard

- Struggling teams noticed too late
After
- Standings everyone can see
- Thirty seconds a shift to keep it current
- Streaks and best-day highlights spread the credit
- A nudge to help a team after two slow days
