When your Gaggle Manager first sends out invitations to your Gaggle, they are looking for activation — folks to join the Gaggle. Some Members will join quickly; others might need a bit more affirmation. This is where your stakeholders can help support the Gaggle Managers.
Once the invitations have been sent, you can reaffirm the importance of participating to your direct reports and teams. Sometimes that little extra nudge from a stakeholder Members work with day-to-day is all it takes for a Member to feel comfortable joining the program.
To make it easier for you to invite others, we have included a few templates below that you can copy and paste to your email. It's best to forward the invitation from the Gaggle Manager and include your own message, like the examples below, in your follow-up.
