Complacency vs. Positive Urgency

What is it about this time of year that brings about the complacency in people and educators.  Momentum from the beginning of school has been diminished, people are restless, and focus on the essentials has been forgotten.  Although we are constantly reminded of our goals and what we are about we get complacent.  Why?  Our students cannot afford anything but our best everyday.  We owe our students effectiveness in the classroom each and everyday.  We owe them positive urgency each day.  We owe them high expectations of ourselves each class period.  We often fall into a pattern of thinging rather than a pattern of thinking.  I compare this mid year mentality to a basketball team going through the motions and not paying attention to the details that will help them improve on game night.  What can leaders do about this mid year mentality?  As a leader, I have emphasized TEAM from day one.  I emphasized that we must come together as a team even when things are tough.  We have whole school spirit assemblies once a month.  We continue to keep faculty meetings short and focused on building collective capacity by getting into each others classrooms.   We have snack days that bring people together.  These are strategies to keep morale high among teachers but we still fall into that all too familiar February funk,  What are some ways you keep the positive urgency at the forefront?  How do you combat the complacency that often rears its ugly head at this time of year.?    I would love to here from other leaders strategies that they use.
