How Do You Activate Your Own Team?

Start one with what's your objective? What's that big goal you need to nail? What would help you win? And then take a step back to say, who's critical to achieving it? What are all the approvals that might need to take place along the way? Or who needs to contribute to this work? And bring those people together, i'm either one on one or in a group, and ask them, what will it take for us to get there? Then wont you have all those requirements, you build your project plan, or even better, you have your a rators say, how do we prioritize these? Which of these are most important?
