What describes your
culture?
• A focus on ‘big problems’ or on solving small problems daily
• Managers ask ‘what did you do?’ or ‘what caused it?’
• A new priority every month vs. accountability over time
• Problems discussed at length or meaningful action
• Decisions reserved for senior leadership or experimentation
promoted
• Director leading or director enabling
• A belief that if people would just do their job and not screw it up
things would be better

Editor's Notes

  1. My goal is for you at the end of this to say, yea, that makes sense or yea, that is obvious. And you approach your team with the framework so you better tell the story of your problem so you can get over it.
  2. Introduce myself with credentials because if someone thinks I’m cooky or that everything I say is completely obvious then at least you’ll know that others at least think I’m credible enough to certify me and give me a job.
  3. All I’ve done in my career is show people some basic tools then get them to form powerful assessments. This leads to action. We’d ask repeatedly, what is going well? What surprised you? What needs more attention? They would start generating powerful assessments and that would compel them to action. I would get major kudos for leading my clients to success but it wasn’t magic.
