 This is a great post. When I think of how this relates to our work around psychological safety the first thing that comes to mind is the degree of psychological safety needed for strategic vs process driven innovation. Although it’s not absolutely true, strategy requires a lot more willingness to suspend judgment when considering various paths forward. Process can often have components that are more predictable. In both cases the ability to innovate requires psychological safety, high standards and a process that includes planned experimentation. Smart risk taking is an art and a science.

An executive coach is someone who you can confidentially share your hopes, dreams, frustrations, challenges, fears, doubts, and struggles without feeling judged. Most clients find coaching reassuring and energizing. They are no longer alone and feel more secure knowing that most of their unhelpful thinking and actions are both normal and typical. They learn they can choose to make positive changes to grow both personally and professionally. There are a couple of ways we could work together to support your growth plan.

Have you ever attended an all-day or multi-day training session and felt like you were hit by a fire hose? This is a typical training experience. Organizations need to ponder the seat time learners will be away from their daily activities, so they stuff ten pounds of training into a five-pound bag. It’s doable if you follow two tips: ✔️Design the training in small bits. Discreet content with a clear objective and practical application. ✔️Start from a mental model the learner already has. For example, do your learners already have a sense of what Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is? Do you need to teach them what the levels of safety that they are striving for in their manufacturing facility? Talking about this in terms of a hierarchy of needs will quickly resonate with the learners and save you the time of having to explain how these kinds of levels work in general. Deliberately design training in small chunks using existing mental models. The payoff is worth it.

Would you invest 1) 20 minutes to watch a video, 2) 2 hours of internal facilitator training on a tool with unlimited, lifetime use within your company, and 3) only US$960 if the outcomes could help the overall performance of your company? What if some of those outcomes were the following: 1)     Insight into every department and what people are doing on the task level, 2)     Employee productivity increases because critical tasks are prioritized, 3)     Realignment of tasks to match employees’ skills and interests, 4)     A way for your department managers to proactively anticipate changes in workloads across the department staff and adjust accordingly, 5)     Highlight other things in the company (processes, communication issues, training gaps, etc.) that are impacting employees’ ability to get their work done as it should be done, 6)     Give managers specific details as to what tasks are not getting done or prioritized, based on the experts’ opinion (expert meaning the employee doing the work), and 7)     Insights and information come out in as little as four hours. As a leader within your company, departmental performance across the company is of utmost importance. But senior leaders don’t need to get into the weeds, at the task level. However, leaders do need to support access to the tools that departments need to run more smoothly, effectively, and efficiently. If you are willing to take the first step and do what is the right thing to do for your company, I invite you to watch this 20-minute video that explains the tool I referred to in the opening line. This tool is called HATS - Task Management Activity. https://lnkd.in/erZ679wX If not you, pass this link along to somebody in your company who will watch the video. HATS is a game changer for your middle management and frontline employees. I have been using this tool for over 28 years and every session I have facilitated has positively impacted the session participants and streamlined workloads across the departments. Don’t wait. If after watching the 20-minute video you decide that this tool is not for your company, that’s fine. However, if you would like to introduce this tool into your company and reap the benefits of what HATS can do for you and your employees, contact me. Let’s talk. Let’s figure out how to get the tool into your company toolbox as quickly as possible. This is the tool your departments have been waiting for. #imt #HATS #taskmanagement #rolesandresponsibilities #workloadbalance #conversationframeworks #departmenttools #facilitator
