Now that you have identified the others you will need to involve to move forward with your strategy, and have some time scheduled to meet with them to get started, take some time to consider these questions:

What strengths does each person bring to the table?

Why are they important?

What can you do to encourage and support them in functioning at high levels as you move toward this opportunity?

After you’ve given this some thought, make a point of spending a few minutes with each of these people today and let them know how much you appreciate their strengths and talents, and how valuable they are to the organization and the success of this upcoming effort. Let them know you are looking forward to working with them and that you will do everything in your power to help them — and the overall effort — be a success.
