Tips to Try this Week
Hate to get out of bed in the AM? Try these ideas:
- Start by remembering that everyone around you wants the same thing you do:
success. Use this wisdom to build relationships that foster stronger communication.
- Master your focus. Because we can only focus on one thought at a time, take
care in choosing what you focus on – and practice strategies that allow you
to maintain a healthy focus.
- Instead of pushing for results, go upstream by first creating the environment
that delivers great results. Use methods to take advantage of all interactions
with others so that trust builds, solutions are developed, and elephants flee.
Elephants are present?
While their size may be limited, their affect on your company's health is certain.
You and your team must act quickly in order to ensure that a healthy future
is secured. Take these steps to impact the culture in which you work – and the
results created:
- Address the elephant in the room. State clearly what’s important to you
and why, and in a way that builds people, relationships, and results for the
long term.
- Ask the right sort of questions. Instead of seeking answers to things that
destroy trust, accountability, engagement and results, ask questions that
address the elephant and move issues forward.
- Explore your Leadership Blind Spots. Build relationships with people so
they can be candid and transparent with you.
A Wellness CultureSM prevails!
Here are three suggestions to continue the momentum and deliver even stronger
results:
- Look for opportunities to celebrate progress and results at work. This can
be done in one minute in the hallway. Ensure that you identify who and what
created the results.
- Practice asking even stronger questions. Tap others’ ideas for stronger
execution. And don’t settle for just getting their ideas – find out about
their motivations!
- Continue to assist others in mastering their focus. Identifying what they
want to have happen – instead of what they don’t – will secure a strong future.
