Each year, I learn as much about myself from the goals I fall short of as from the ones I meet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Chris’s process is a simple and effective way of activating the mindsets, routines, and behaviours that will enable your desired achievements. Its power is in keeping you focused on the things that lead to your outcomes. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are the three steps to follow:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Identify how you must think, act and behave to achieve your goals. </div><div>2. Select three words that will keep your outcomes top-of-mind and trigger how to think and act.</div><div>3. Place these words where you will see them daily (e.g., phone screen, monitor, mirror).</div><div><br /></div><div>Prioritizing three goals and choosing a word for each works best for me. My three words for 2023 were <i>Room</i>, <i>Reconnect</i> and <i>Begin</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGaBuPynePeE4HCN_etqypws2tE78W3qbFTW9TQorItJLSSwmgT0hWxwoOW6sV4Gg5u3qpGgd2iKSaBj9sLkF1al7f_QI7NuAPz84oMlqmNcyI99NYgiHktaV4ShpWgDhpzwcNpuENd1TlCDvCsMze45qLEYHqzWMdg13JxW81gPflEs2O_dyTfcw8pA/s455/My%203%20Words%20-%202023%20Words.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="455" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGaBuPynePeE4HCN_etqypws2tE78W3qbFTW9TQorItJLSSwmgT0hWxwoOW6sV4Gg5u3qpGgd2iKSaBj9sLkF1al7f_QI7NuAPz84oMlqmNcyI99NYgiHktaV4ShpWgDhpzwcNpuENd1TlCDvCsMze45qLEYHqzWMdg13JxW81gPflEs2O_dyTfcw8pA/w297-h237/My%203%20Words%20-%202023%20Words.png" width="297" /></a></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Room</i> signified holding time on my calendar to accommodate changes in my schedule. In March, I was booked for a kidney donor operation for a close friend, and this word reminded me to make room in my calendar for my recovery by reducing my consulting assignments and saying no to other activities. My planning saved me because a week before the date, I caught COVID-19, delaying our surgeries by three weeks. My lighter-than-normal schedule accommodated the change except for facilitating a virtual strategic planning session six days after the operation. Calendar flexibility has become a new habit.</div></blockquote></blockquote><div><br /></div><div><div><i>Reconnect</i> supported my goal of checking in with family members, friends, and former colleagues I hadn’t seen in years. I was conscious time was passing, and I hadn’t connected with many people I cared for. “Reconnect” was a powerful reminder to keep relationships alive. I will continue to do so.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Begin</i> was a stimulus to move into new territory, both personally and professionally. The opposite of growth is stagnation, and I want to challenge myself to take on new experiences, build new skills and meet new people. I wanted 2023 to be a year of beginnings, and I intend to be in the right mindset to see and pursue them. This word was the least effective. I took on new clients in new industries and government agencies but was looking for more “newness.” In hindsight, “Begin” was too broad—begin what?</div><div><br /></div><div>I am motivated to make 2024 another successful year. My goals are more personal than professional, and the three words I have selected to achieve them are <i>Mentor,</i> <i>Refine</i>, and <i>Chef</i>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk7aNzAEkwOmTWX2hRcFfIwzzEP1Gf00vHOhI6H2Uu-d-TRLgtOtmhFh2EB0ieIBH_xANNhhwsUUlJrmvXy-g91nJOzH356onzTR0LmWs_L4ifRGNOno3H8W7bSKCYd4p6iJKdkgvfHx6zes3DUXtwFE-9XTocNdAdFul85dmM9k5l5Z9sm15KnwAkRbmd/s431/2024%20My%20Three%20Words.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="376" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk7aNzAEkwOmTWX2hRcFfIwzzEP1Gf00vHOhI6H2Uu-d-TRLgtOtmhFh2EB0ieIBH_xANNhhwsUUlJrmvXy-g91nJOzH356onzTR0LmWs_L4ifRGNOno3H8W7bSKCYd4p6iJKdkgvfHx6zes3DUXtwFE-9XTocNdAdFul85dmM9k5l5Z9sm15KnwAkRbmd/s320/2024%20My%20Three%20Words.png" width="279" /></a></div>Last year, I dedicated time to helping people achieve their goals by providing feedback on LinkedIn profiles and HR-related advice. Some of these professionals were new to Canada. I loved the experiences and was happy to see people achieve their goals. <i>Mentor</i> will remind me to ramp up my support and find new ways to provide it. </div><div><br /></div><div><i>Refine</i> is a reminder to fine-tune my routines. Early in my career, I discovered that my learning style is called “abstract conceptualization,” which means I learn by doing and create sequenced steps to achieve my goals. I am a process guy. I aim to refine the processes that keep me healthy, including learning, exercise, diet, and sleep. Experimenting like popular academics Andrew Huberman and David Sinclair will be fun. Let the experiments begin!</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Chef</i> is about starting a new hobby: cooking. The last hobbies I took on were running fifteen years ago and painting twenty years earlier.</div><div><br /></div><div>Get-togethers over the holiday season reminded me of my culinary skill gap and desire to fill it. I realize chef is a grand term, but I want to push myself. The ability to make ten amazing meals feels like a good stretch goal. There may be some photos to share next year, and I know I will need to prioritize this personal goal or fail because there are no immediate consequences for ignoring it. Although this goal might sound easy, it is the one I am least confident in achieving. I will turn my trepidation into action.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the years, friends and associates have adopted the My Three Words approach after reading these annual blog posts. If it’s something you would like to try, what three words will guide you to success in 2024? I would be happy to mentor you through the process.</div></div><div><br /></div><p>#goalsetting #planning #personaldevelopment #change #leadership #management #business #my3words</p>Phil Buckleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06376694583221447225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410928639878587483.post-73252049302946387822023-01-04T09:21:00.001-05:002023-01-17T23:05:30.437-05:00What 3 Words Will Guide You to Success in 2023?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeMHS9r1-5_YToE6CwJ-5SsRPS0VQgzEPdbsbiQ-uF_7APj9JAwvl7nNukIqElMxDaWzcPhW-BqiAIUMNutnIc0Ye2xnMHyL8TpZz_tEcL2AmeD6nBcsmkXJTvySzNZS6tsE86-mQUVHRM_9eP_sXr-iedEp5rQk3IXlOo_Tui0lwR4BHODdiMX_rKg/s928/My%203%20Words%20-%202023%20Header.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="928" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeMHS9r1-5_YToE6CwJ-5SsRPS0VQgzEPdbsbiQ-uF_7APj9JAwvl7nNukIqElMxDaWzcPhW-BqiAIUMNutnIc0Ye2xnMHyL8TpZz_tEcL2AmeD6nBcsmkXJTvySzNZS6tsE86-mQUVHRM_9eP_sXr-iedEp5rQk3IXlOo_Tui0lwR4BHODdiMX_rKg/s320/My%203%20Words%20-%202023%20Header.png" width="320" /></a></div>It’s my tenth anniversary of using <a href="https://chrisbrogan.com/stories/storytelling/3words2023/" style="background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-decoration: var(--artdeco-reset-link-text-decoration-none); touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Chris Brogan’s “My Three Words”</span></a><a href="https://chrisbrogan.com/stories/storytelling/3words2023/" style="background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-decoration: var(--artdeco-reset-link-text-decoration-none); touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"> </a>planning exercise to set myself up for success for the next year. Like many, 2022 was a year of uncertainty, and this approach kept me focused on my priorities through most of the twists and turns I faced.<p></p><p>Here is how Chris’ technique works: After setting your goals for the year, select three words that will keep these aspirations top of mind and align your actions with achieving them. At the end of the year, assess their effectiveness before starting the process again, incorporating new learnings. </p><p>2022 marked a fresh start after dedicating three years to creating my book, <span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-style: var(--artdeco-reset-typography-font-style-italic); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); outline: var(--artdeco-reset-base-outline-zero); padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);"><a href="http://www.changeontherun.com/" style="background-color: var(--artdeco-reset-link-background-color-transparent); border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-decoration: var(--artdeco-reset-link-text-decoration-none); touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);">Change on the Run</a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);">. </span></span>To make good decisions about new opportunities, I chose words that would help me evaluate options. My three words to guide me to success for the year were activate, breathe and outcomes.</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p></p></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4shpGQvaK1Oz_stTTTXAB7NfbJFAiCA1Xku2HaCCK6nbFMU2YvFiYHRA7azlrugeMM-2LWOJICpvbALCj1XFlHxq7Ta_E-Cg5chT8OUaWvgwFCO7IAg1yv21f_byoWWYEVtacI2XAdHIK_v6yndON6RhRxLH80BQEQsB_T_JbzqnMxU_f26PAluq8eQ/s489/My%203%20Words%20-%202022%20Words.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="328" data-original-width="489" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4shpGQvaK1Oz_stTTTXAB7NfbJFAiCA1Xku2HaCCK6nbFMU2YvFiYHRA7azlrugeMM-2LWOJICpvbALCj1XFlHxq7Ta_E-Cg5chT8OUaWvgwFCO7IAg1yv21f_byoWWYEVtacI2XAdHIK_v6yndON6RhRxLH80BQEQsB_T_JbzqnMxU_f26PAluq8eQ/s320/My%203%20Words%20-%202022%20Words.PNG" width="320" /></a></div><i>Activate</i> was about creating conditions where I could think objectively. Being at the top of my game requires physical and mental regimens that are difficult to do consistently. They include running, weight training, time for reflection and dedicated research. It’s incredible what you can accomplish when you relentlessly stick to a plan. My regimens gave me confidence through my assessments and dynamic client assignments.<p></p><p><i>Breathe</i> refers to pausing before making commitments. I have difficulty saying no to requests for change management support, which creates two risks: overextending my firm’s capacity and having to pass on new assignments that better align with my skills and expertise. Breathe was a reminder to pause and thoughtfully consider each opportunity before saying yes (or no). It worked well until it didn’t. In September, I fell into old behaviours and lost control of my calendar. I quickly got back on track but suffered the consequences of my actions.</p><p><i>Outcomes</i> prompted me to use consistent evaluation criteria for new engagements. I was inspired by Marshall Goldsmith’s advice to “make sure that the benefits are truly worth your efforts” before doing something. This word was a big help in defining and following a set of assessment questions for each opportunity. I passed on a few speaking gigs and consulting assignments because they didn’t fit my parameters.</p><p>This year has been one of the best for pursuing my goals. Posting the three words on my monitor kept them top of mind except in the early fall when I let busyness distract me. Next year I will also write them out daily, as recommended by Chris Brogan’s business partner,<span style="font-family: times;"> <a href="https://robhatch.com/" style="background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: var(--font-weight-bold); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-decoration: var(--artdeco-reset-link-text-decoration-none); touch-action: manipulation; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);">Rob Hatch</a><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);">.</span></span></p><p>I am looking forward to 2023.

initiatives can be gruelling and can feel like a succession of uphill battles
characterized by tight deadlines, difficult challenges, stretched capabilities,
and long hours. Giving and receiving recognition energizes individuals and
teams and builds momentum to tackle the next tasks and activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Acknowledgement
for your hard work feels great. It’s tempting to accept it by saying, “Thank
you, I have been working hard." The best response is to share praise with
those who contributed to the success and detail how they contributed, which
maximizes the distinction. Saying, “Thank you, we all worked hard to hit this
deadline, and Tim and Sandeep created a focused plan to get us there,” broadens
the recognition and signals that you are a humble leader. People will notice
your thoughtfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Round
off your acceptance by connecting the team’s capabilities with future
achievements. By saying something like, “We’re on a roll,” or “We’re ready for
the next challenge,” you encourage the behaviours that got the results and
create the momentum for success to become a habit.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><br /></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEnCLOzGP_eAZO10ZvgU7iXG26A_xu9EzsyYY6T9vTWYbjHnf3fYtz6wgCjGfQF0Adxj6nFx4X1aDW2H0XdO2X1s-KImbhePGCncDniSflzPhesfrAnrIoRORNPBLw2BWsA3GAwwkfn3AtXhDBH7K4rg39EpdQQP46S6NHxtkPuvImzGsEFhYxeb6Iw/s1042/Responding%20to%20Praise%20-%20KB.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="1042" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEnCLOzGP_eAZO10ZvgU7iXG26A_xu9EzsyYY6T9vTWYbjHnf3fYtz6wgCjGfQF0Adxj6nFx4X1aDW2H0XdO2X1s-KImbhePGCncDniSflzPhesfrAnrIoRORNPBLw2BWsA3GAwwkfn3AtXhDBH7K4rg39EpdQQP46S6NHxtkPuvImzGsEFhYxeb6Iw/w537-h285/Responding%20to%20Praise%20-%20KB.png" width="537" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><b style="font-family: times; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: times; font-size: large; text-align: left;">RECOGNITION PLANNER TOOL: How will I respond to praise?</b></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Express gratitude:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">_________________________________________________________________________</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Who else contributed?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">_________________________________________________________________________</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">What did they do?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">_________________________________________________________________________</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">SUCCESS TIP</span></b></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Keep a list of acknowledgements to motivate yourself and the team in challenging times and to create a project summary at the project’s end.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span><span><span>For more stories, insights and advice, listen to the</span></span><span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></span><a href="https://change-on-the-run.sounder.fm/episode/responding-to-praise"><b>Responding

For example, new software training must be completed on the 30th because the system is going live on the 10th of the following month.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">An inherent risk of interconnected deadlines is that one unrealistic deadline for an activity cascades through all the task deadlines leading up to it, regardless of how much time is necessary to complete them. It only takes one miscalculation to fail to meet a plan timeline. Many people respond to unrealistic deadlines with reckless optimism. They cut corners, eliminate steps or shorten timelines without understanding the impacts of their choices. Before they’ve even begun, they’ve added risk to their plan and are in jeopardy of failing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The best timeline planning approach is to map out the minimum time required to achieve all your tasks and activities. These facts are your best defence against unrealistic expectations. You might not get all the time you need, but you will get more than the original estimate, and leaders will now co-own the time risks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YLNmfvOzQb-SXl_ODMBKF4-ADF1H5AFfFWhartfwfBq9-998dFY8NT2zq030PxE8_vWPjzTvw_gmrgZTwJoDQ_w7yXyduwmNxJAHiHv4n8zJlWCuzzAugEq_0Gs5x04nqHJhNWE1iA-xbLxOv4hcByJwoIOpcjHtWQ9x_PPsaYJgO_wPnxGlEC8mEg/s929/Negotiating%20Deadlines%20-%20KB.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="691" data-original-width="929" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YLNmfvOzQb-SXl_ODMBKF4-ADF1H5AFfFWhartfwfBq9-998dFY8NT2zq030PxE8_vWPjzTvw_gmrgZTwJoDQ_w7yXyduwmNxJAHiHv4n8zJlWCuzzAugEq_0Gs5x04nqHJhNWE1iA-xbLxOv4hcByJwoIOpcjHtWQ9x_PPsaYJgO_wPnxGlEC8mEg/w533-h396/Negotiating%20Deadlines%20-%20KB.png" width="533" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>MINIMUM TIMELINE PLANNER TOOL: What’s the least amount of time I need to complete my activities?</b></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMeCiSIdGohpial3atk0cVWuipZofHlhH1bJPNS4aSDxGbq6Qyj59MekoTZiDpnVBKdxJLfsje5H-WSiETu7Dyo5lk3XdgQz5yvCyaWow1N27YZ5ZhXIoAI4hmOizzSz5QNLL-SmFd7Gt4V3We3wUQWiQeQ6c67suVv_xHLdlPABKhTAuaee3tWPdX4Q/s1077/Negotiating%20Deadlines%20-%20TOOL.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="1077" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMeCiSIdGohpial3atk0cVWuipZofHlhH1bJPNS4aSDxGbq6Qyj59MekoTZiDpnVBKdxJLfsje5H-WSiETu7Dyo5lk3XdgQz5yvCyaWow1N27YZ5ZhXIoAI4hmOizzSz5QNLL-SmFd7Gt4V3We3wUQWiQeQ6c67suVv_xHLdlPABKhTAuaee3tWPdX4Q/w536-h300/Negotiating%20Deadlines%20-%20TOOL.png" width="536" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">SUCCESS TIP</span></b></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Don’t explain in detail why you did what you did.

font-size: medium;">Mistakes are inevitable when managing change. There are too many moving pieces on different schedules and run by different people to avoid missteps.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Given the stress (and fear) that major change initiatives inevitably produces, people can default to responses that deflect ownership, compromise resolution, and obscure learning when something goes wrong. This behaviour often adds risk to the project and damages relationships. </span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">A better and more difficult approach is to expect and address mistakes as they appear.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Taking accountability for a mistake, especially in public, will set you apart. People will remember how calmly you handled the situation and soon will forget about the mistake. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">First, take ownership of the mistake. Next, state what you are doing to correct it. Talking about the solution focuses people on the path to correction vs. the actual mistake. Close off your comments by sharing what you learned and what you will do differently in the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJtbPVeAj29pJg7kgwkTy4tSf179qkaA2idwnDqU9b_VWM8t3JkGMUAXfak4ggGXva65W0OJ5CXphQbJm9F61o-GOYI48E2uE70WtN3en7hAa1K_K40HXEj_e3vjidpHb85bZDYvQ8_o6B8mpLnHlWosrlMZmRFtchgw5kvZAYBShlFrKLOtjmrKRMqw/s1077/Handling%20Mistakes%20-%20KB.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="1077" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJtbPVeAj29pJg7kgwkTy4tSf179qkaA2idwnDqU9b_VWM8t3JkGMUAXfak4ggGXva65W0OJ5CXphQbJm9F61o-GOYI48E2uE70WtN3en7hAa1K_K40HXEj_e3vjidpHb85bZDYvQ8_o6B8mpLnHlWosrlMZmRFtchgw5kvZAYBShlFrKLOtjmrKRMqw/w529-h222/Handling%20Mistakes%20-%20KB.png" width="529" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>MISTAKE CORRECTION PLANNING TOOL: What are the steps I need to take to correct the mistake?</b></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguuJhTFs-4MX3yVQw_4XUSdlcKavxiccVYOw9luC0Fiup6flZWxnA3KNIf-CGK49uy0yzOVKF8VdTNoNxieRTK7-_Xf7bidqm1kv67RnXc-dYQyaxZcRBmXy9gi1USruXdv-9zD6B0rZFyzPnAzWctcMpP6FR0P4M57e-XOV_bpVHnl4BmMqLCAEfpTQ/s993/Handling%20Mistakes%20-%20TOOL.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="993" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguuJhTFs-4MX3yVQw_4XUSdlcKavxiccVYOw9luC0Fiup6flZWxnA3KNIf-CGK49uy0yzOVKF8VdTNoNxieRTK7-_Xf7bidqm1kv67RnXc-dYQyaxZcRBmXy9gi1USruXdv-9zD6B0rZFyzPnAzWctcMpP6FR0P4M57e-XOV_bpVHnl4BmMqLCAEfpTQ/w527-h262/Handling%20Mistakes%20-%20TOOL.png" width="527" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">SUCCESS TIP</span></b></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Don’t explain in detail why you did what you did.

font-size: medium;">Most organizations take on change agendas that are larger than the resources available to implement them. Leaders struggle to prioritize multiple change initiatives because they all provide benefits, and generally there are differing views on which ones will deliver the most value. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Most people starting a change project jump into planning without stepping back to assess the environment in which the change will take place. For example, if your change is launching at the same time as three other initiatives, odds are that the people you’re impacting will not have the capacity (time, skill and resources) to implement the plan as well as you’d like. Securing adequate resources to implement your plan is one of the most important negotiations you’ll have. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Meet with each stakeholder to better understand the benefits they’ll get from your change. Greater detail backed by credible endorsements will make them more tangible and perhaps more valuable when compared to other projects, securing the resources you need.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The goal is to communicate constantly about whether you’re on or behind the plan. People can handle the truth but hate surprises; be the first to update stakeholders on your progress. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">First, you need to know your true status. Inaccurate reporting destroys credibility and raises concerns about your capabilities. A false update is most damaging when someone on the project team has better or more reliable data—information that contradicts your own stated accounts. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">If you’re on track, present evidence; if you’re behind, be clear on the gap and how you’ll fill it. Noting the activities already in play is an effective way to lower tensions and shift the focus from the problem to its solution.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They either don’t want something done or they want it done differently. Justifying your actions with facts is effective in the short term, but it won’t resolve the issue; blockers keep blocking until there is no benefit to doing so. A more effective approach is to demonstrate how your work will help them out.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Understanding their issue and how they believe the change you are working on will harm them is the first step in neutralizing the blocker. Next, demonstrate how your work will benefit them. If it doesn’t, demonstrate how alternative approaches will harm them more. Finally, make any adjustments (that won’t compromise your objective) to get them on your side, or at least to not block your success. </span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is especially true in the middle of projects because we tend to remember only beginnings and endings, leaving the key middle ground foggy. Documenting the context and details of your observations while they are fresh in your mind gives you the best learning. Keeping a daily log, either paper or electronic, enables you to create an accurate and fulsome learning summary at the end of the project. The details you record daily will enhance the stories you tell about what you did, how you did it and what you learned from the results.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;">Your most important change activity is to help leaders make decisions. Showing them the implications of their options will lead to better and more supported choices. Often, decisions must be made quickly, either because there is little time to discuss new information or something has gone wrong. Listing pros and cons is a fast way to review options in the context of your objectives. Identify three options and note the pros and cons of each. Doing nothing may be a good option to assess because it evaluates the speed of action. Choose the option that best moves you toward achieving your goals. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Once you’ve identified the best option, share it with leaders and implement it if you have their support. If not, make modifications until all leaders support it. Sometimes, you’ll need to pivot to another option if they reject your first pick. If this happens, try to build in some elements of your best option to increase the probability of its success. </span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt9JW1Ueh8PZfocL3rryS55tQQYtHUTLKhy3xhjcsbV78vWHb5ULKUeL6gkEZZmBZ-GQdITXDQgan4S0YGCBX9cR37i9laNSqB_sFxrWeVilkqrxKN4Y_WOsvtMSkXpPImK0COJ4o3u-MR_TERygY9dP-oy46IXE-JoQqZlLKBdK6rR6Y6qwyxDuFiww/s802/Making%20Decisions%20-%20KB.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="523" data-original-width="802" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt9JW1Ueh8PZfocL3rryS55tQQYtHUTLKhy3xhjcsbV78vWHb5ULKUeL6gkEZZmBZ-GQdITXDQgan4S0YGCBX9cR37i9laNSqB_sFxrWeVilkqrxKN4Y_WOsvtMSkXpPImK0COJ4o3u-MR_TERygY9dP-oy46IXE-JoQqZlLKBdK6rR6Y6qwyxDuFiww/w556-h364/Making%20Decisions%20-%20KB.png" width="556" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>DECISION COMPARISON TOOL: How will I make a decision</b></span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b>?</b></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoX3KdNLjzzZ8X3Et71Qpra31E5Iu5_GnXBT_lepphs0zJbGuyWlou_vrWeWA053bUBjBuB6iCjn7UCaTd3N4-S4JnvMvuf6g2gtgod3L35zZhx1D9JlUI0jzpsXSs_dTzwPsoBPI3Zh7cmKwcOoTnJf76f2rvNRRsS2Ycqt2Zop04YMMzGjGVQ-LYdA/s757/Decision%20Making%20-%20TOOL.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="528" data-original-width="757" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoX3KdNLjzzZ8X3Et71Qpra31E5Iu5_GnXBT_lepphs0zJbGuyWlou_vrWeWA053bUBjBuB6iCjn7UCaTd3N4-S4JnvMvuf6g2gtgod3L35zZhx1D9JlUI0jzpsXSs_dTzwPsoBPI3Zh7cmKwcOoTnJf76f2rvNRRsS2Ycqt2Zop04YMMzGjGVQ-LYdA/w553-h386/Decision%20Making%20-%20TOOL.png" width="553" /></a></div><p><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">SUCCESS TIP</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Informally (verbally) test your best option with key leaders.

font-size: medium;">People have a need to be recognized for work that is meaningful and necessary for success. From recognition to gifts, rewards play an important role in maintaining morale, focus, and performance. They acknowledge people’s hard work and give them confidence in their future contributions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Celebrating accomplishments with peers is especially effective because everyone knows how difficult the tasks were to achieve. Small gifts have symbolic value because they’re tangible reminders of the achievement and the organization’s appreciation for it. They also help the leader write a narrative about people’s efforts and their impact on success, positioning team members as protagonists rising to the challenge who will do so again in the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Being specific about how a person or team accomplished the task personalizes the recognition, making it more meaningful, especially when shared with friends and family (“My boss said that I saved the day.”)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Rewards that can be shared and enjoyed outside of work, like movie tickets or leaving early on a Friday, have the greatest impact. They communicate that people’s personal lives are important and haven't been forgotten by leaders. </span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Getting them done is more important than determining what is required to accommodate them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">To assess an adjustment’s impact, estimate how it will alter the speed, level of difficulty or resources required. The answers will tell you if the change is positive, neutral or negative.

font-size: medium;">Managing the closing of a change project is hard because most leaders and project team members have mentally moved on to their next roles and challenges.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">A lessons-learned exercise at the end of a change project is essential for building change capability in your organization. It documents which activities worked and should be repeated by other project teams, and which didn’t and shouldn’t.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The best lessons-learned reviews include members of all stakeholder groups, including leaders, project team members and those going through the change. Ask representatives of each group to write down three things that worked and three that didn’t—and ask them to detail why. Themes will emerge that are best explained by verbatim quotes from the feedback providers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Scheduling a leader review meeting at the beginning of the project creates an expectation of measurement and a commitment to learning. Booking this meeting into calendars months in advance will increase the likelihood it will happen.</span></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><br /></b></p><p><b style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KNOWLEDGE BITES</span></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Of all the tasks you need to perform, I suggest prioritizing spending time with leaders as they are making decisions. These moments will determine the success of your project and will define where your knowledge and experience are needed most.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Status meetings are crucial to the success of change initiatives because this is where leaders review progress, evaluate risks and make decisions, including on the allocation of resources. If you know what’s being decided at these meetings, you can influence what data is presented and what questions get asked. The better briefed leaders are, the better they will be at making the right decisions.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

Spending time up front defining and gaining buy-in for measures will save you considerable heartache throughout the execution phase of your project.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The two questions you need to answer are: a) What information can you track that will accurately communicate what you’ve completed at each plan checkpoint? and b) Who can provide context around this data? For example, you could track percentage completion of training and include a quote from the participants’ leader, such as, “My team felt the training provided them with everything they need to operate the new system.”</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">It’s important to get agreement from leaders on what data will be tracked and by whom. The clearer they are about how success </span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">will be measured, the more supportive they’ll be at progress reviews. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;

Words” </a><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">planning exercise to set myself up for success at
the beginning of a new year. It helps me take stock of the previous year, commit
to meaningful goals, and identify what it will take to achieve them.</span></span><div><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Here is how Chris’ technique
works: After setting your goals for the year, select three words that will keep
them top of mind and guide your actions toward these outcomes. </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">At the end of the year, assess
their effectiveness before starting the process again, incorporating new
learnings.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Last year was a big one for me. </span>My primary goal
was to finish writing my second book, <i>Change on the Run</i>, and publish
it in March through Page Two Books. My tasks included writing and recording an
audiobook version, planning a live virtual launch event and marketing online. The
three words that supported me were <i>reach</i>, <i>partner</i> and <i>share</i>.
I kept them visible on my monitor stand and wrote them out daily as reminders
to stay focused.</span><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" style="border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: border-box; font-style: var(--artdeco-reset-typography-font-style-italic); margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); outline: var(--artdeco-reset-base-outline-zero); padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline); white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiz6j3_scDH6pGoF_tuydsbkDsiNrLU0-zhNn4Bqey6qfSTQVrPr4vtGoBvnb4bwStFydzFBhFO-QmL0nR0R3Ejk5F-mIOWmuKmWjyITjafJilqiTfUbVcvw5NXx0megdqhRQk4gqvt2IOxeCSjUWGwBC5viAw2OKAzuwx98R-MFSq_fmT9E11vijbmKw=s365" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="291" data-original-width="365" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiz6j3_scDH6pGoF_tuydsbkDsiNrLU0-zhNn4Bqey6qfSTQVrPr4vtGoBvnb4bwStFydzFBhFO-QmL0nR0R3Ejk5F-mIOWmuKmWjyITjafJilqiTfUbVcvw5NXx0megdqhRQk4gqvt2IOxeCSjUWGwBC5viAw2OKAzuwx98R-MFSq_fmT9E11vijbmKw=w237-h189" width="237" /></a></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i>Reach</i> propelled
me to build awareness with my target market of people going through workplace
change who have little time to learn what works. I hosted 29 podcast episodes, gave
14 interviews, wrote 30 blog posts and five articles, and facilitated five
workshops. I missed a few opportunities, but there is no “perfect” in
promotion, just like change management.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i>Partner</i> was a prompt to collaborate with
individuals and organizations to maximize my impact. Inertia encourages us to
repeat experiences instead of discovering new ones that enable us to grow. Mine
spanned consulting partnerships, peer community events, and university engagements.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i>Share</i> was a reminder that I am happiest
when helping others. Reserving time for mentoring and coaching is important,
and I didn’t want to pass on these opportunities to support others. I coached
conference presenters and shared my perspectives with many. Our conversations
taught me a lot and forged valued relationships.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">My three words contributed to a meaningful and
successful 2021. There were times when I didn’t review them, sometimes for
days. Inconsistency led to distractions and poor snap decisions about my time. After
a few missteps, I renewed my morning routine, and focus returned.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">This year represents a fresh start after dedicating
three years to creating </span><i style="background-color: white;">Change on the Run</i><span style="background-color: white;">. To make room for new
opportunities and growth, I am reorienting the words from “delivery” to
“discovery.’ My three words to guide me to success for 2022 are </span><i style="background-color: white;">activate</i><span style="background-color: white;">,
</span><i style="background-color: white;">breathe</i><span style="background-color: white;"> and </span><i style="background-color: white;">outcomes</i><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIMs1pAfkoxjQAIAclVxyHLxh6GO90Amv0vbsEWmWjD2LZUptflTzOQ7hxI1bmaJM5s-ApOnfHYBkr-NmDUEb-4jynsILz32Ps9QEZfJWeryAQAQ5iCWCVc5Vm8xtP4eujyLNSdKHoEgC4dKYGPttyZ4itj77KPLQUJbm73yASkxLWwT_uUFOUk_g91w=s489" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="328" data-original-width="489" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIMs1pAfkoxjQAIAclVxyHLxh6GO90Amv0vbsEWmWjD2LZUptflTzOQ7hxI1bmaJM5s-ApOnfHYBkr-NmDUEb-4jynsILz32Ps9QEZfJWeryAQAQ5iCWCVc5Vm8xtP4eujyLNSdKHoEgC4dKYGPttyZ4itj77KPLQUJbm73yASkxLWwT_uUFOUk_g91w=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br />Activate </i>is about creating the conditions where I
can be my best. Being at the top of my game requires physical and mental
regimens that are difficult to do consistently. Achieving my goal will take a
shift in mindset and investment of time. I am tracking my progress daily to
avoid lapses, knowing that one miss often leads to another.</span></div><div><i><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i>Breathe</i> refers to pausing before making
commitments. My default response is to say yes quickly to good initiatives, sometimes
at the expense of great ones. As Sean Covey counsels, “Saying 'yes' to one
thing means saying 'no' to another.” I need to replace my trigger of commitment
with one of thoughtful consideration.</span></div><div><i><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><i>Outcomes </i>builds on the evaluation theme of <i>breathe</i>.
It is inspired by Marshall Goldsmith’s advice to “make sure that the benefits
are truly worth your efforts” of doing something. One of my podcast guests asks
his client’s “To what end?” before beginning an assignment. I plan to ask it
for all parts of my life.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Completing the “My Three Words” exercise over a
couple of days sharpened my goals and pressure-tested words before committing
to them. Now, I am taking action.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Every January holds the promise of a great year
ahead. The My Three Words planning exercise has helped me achieve my goals for
almost a decade. If you need some support to reach yours, what three words will
help you make 2022 one of your best?</span></span></div>Phil Buckleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06376694583221447225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410928639878587483.post-87854234276086842762021-12-30T07:38:00.006-05:002021-12-30T07:38:43.912-05:00How to Address an Emergency<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Most plans don’t go as intended because there are too many variables to predict. Variances can cause delays, extra costs and compromised credibility.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">A good Plan B manages the impacts of things not going as intended. Thinking through what could go wrong and the best response to them will avoid major disruption from unanticipated events. Ask people who have roles in Plan A how they would operate if a specific risk materialized. The answers will identify the actions that form your Plan B. For each action, record when it happens and who is responsible. Review the steps with everyone so people will know what happens immediately before and after their actions.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

It occurs when the demands of a job are greater than a person’s ability to manage them. Triggers include long hours, impossible deadlines, little control of inputs, hostile conditions and low rewards. In other words, project demands.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The impacts of burnout are devastating—extreme fatigue, loss of motivation, drops in performance, insomnia, feelings of resentment and hopelessness and illness. Fortunately, the conditions that lead to burnout are easy to spot: unrealistic expectations and insufficient resources are visible to all. To minimize burnout, review resource plans for gaps throughout the project. If conditions change (time, resources, scope), communicate imbalances to leaders immediately. Highlighting the risk of failure is the best defense against unrealistic expectations that cause burnout.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

In a rush to get a project going, it’s easy to miss this important step, making it difficult to prove progress and achievements throughout the project.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Leaders only value the measures they believe are important. At best, the others receive polite silence. You need to focus on the ones they show interest in. Selecting three metrics is best because that provides enough data to tell a detailed story about the results, without overwhelming stakeholders with exhaustive—and less relevant— information. Beware the laundry list of metrics!</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Present your chosen measures and your rationale for them to leaders, and be prepared to negotiate either the measures or how they’ll be measured. The more you engage leaders in the discussion, the greater the buy-in they’ll have for your approach to measurement. Reaching an agreement is the goal.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>KNOWLEDGE BITES</b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

Their desire to solve one problem can unintentionally create new ones. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The greater a leader’s enthusiasm for his or her solution, the more difficult it is to influence their thinking. Before they jump into action mode, test out their idea to assess its merit. A better one may exist. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Leaders are more likely to accept the assessment of their ideas if they do it themselves. Your role is to walk them through the implementation steps and identify implications. You can then weigh the pros and cons of their ideas with others. Even if the leader’s option isn’t the best and they go with it, you both know the pitfalls.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

The faster this happens, the faster they will adopt new ways of working. Failure to do so will leave people stuck in ‘the good old days’ and/or fearful of future ones. Both mindsets lead to poor adoption of new attitudes and routines.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">To speed the transition process, acknowledge past successes and honour symbols of that era (e.g. past heroes, trophies, photographs, logos). Then, make a bridge between past accomplishments and future requirements. Calling the new era the “next chapter” of the company’s story builds on the previous ones they’re proud of. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Honouring the past doesn’t mean holding on to it. Looking backward can lead to moving forward if it’s quick and meaningful.
