We’re investing time into preparing meetings and other kinds of hosted events. We want them to be productive and positive.
What about the other 80% of our work time?
Here’s a list of ten simple solution-focused things we can say, at almost no cost, whenever we’re talking with people about things that matter.
Wish you lots of success and fun while tryingย – and please let me know in the comments what worked for you, what similar things you’ve succeeded with in the past, and how these can be made to work even better.
Try “What for…” whenever you want to say “Why…” – and feel the difference it makes!
What kind of people would you like to have on your team?
What’s the hallmark of a great team?
It is pragmatic. It sticks with a few, timeless principles:
Something is relevant only if it makes a difference. And it’s right if it works today, all things considered. Realize when something is good enough, and let go. What matters is the net result for the team, not your individual advantage or result.
Don’t aim the duck to death. It’s not enough to think about your first step, you need to make it. Make sure you can confidently change your direction, at all times. Get open, honest feedback from people, and from machines alike. Save yourself unnecessary drama and sloppiness that requires heroism to clean up – there are enough genuine opportunities for you and your team to prove your talents.
Respect each member of your team and respect the team as a whole. Teams aren’t anonymous, and neither are you. Customers are part of the team, even though their expectations are ranked higher than yours.
Only a team that’s intact can give you energy. It’s only the net result for the team that matters, and you’re responsible for it. Everything around you that breaks, is broken or stays broken will sooner or later become your individual problem.
Enjoy being an apprentice, a journey-level person,ย and a master, all at the same time. It’s not a matter of age or of status, but of curiosity, of practice, and of experience. The person who determines your worth is essentially you.
