VIDEO: The Volleyball Effect

VIDEO: The Volleyball Effect

June 17, 2025 Posted by John Barrett

Have you ever watched a volleyball drop between two players—each thinking the other would make the move? That same hesitation can show up on your team if you’re not careful. In this blog, you’ll explore what I call The Volleyball Effect—a powerful comparison between the dynamics of volleyball and your organization’s team performance. When your team hesitates—due to fear of overstepping, unclear roles, or a belief that someone else will act—opportunities are missed, and progress slows. You’ll learn how these small moments of inaction can lead to big setbacks in innovation, collaboration, and momentum. You’ll also discover how to create a culture where collisions of participation are more valuable than silence, and how to shift your team’s mindset to a game day mentality where every player is engaged, ready, and moving forward. Enjoy!
