As you plan your next bold endeavor, your next work project or even your next life adventure how will you approach your process for success?
Some would sit down with their blank sheet of paper and sketch out a drawing first.
Others might use a tool for project management, a spreadsheet or a CRM to assist them in their approach to planning.
You will use the tools and the process you have been taught and learned to use through out your particular life time so far.
Remember that period of time in your life when the people you were working with, decided to go off and use a different process, a different tool or embark on a singular and selfish goal?
Have you ever found yourself recommending a particular process or tool to others for utilization in their team, that is never adopted by them or just ignored?
Your particular success utilizing a method or a process or tool must be articulated to the team with effective past stories.
You must show or demonstrate previous successful outcomes that are relevant to the current mission.
You see, your teams future performance will be more about your own leadership and how you tell the story of your successful past.
The methods and process you introduce, will have far greater adoption since the team sees and hears the evidence that you have tested and adapted, tested and failed, tested and found the correct tool(s), the best process.
The behavior of humans has been studied for centuries. The study of successful teams has been written about and documented for centuries.
What are you missing?
Mission and project success occurs when you realize that your team now understands why these “People”, what is the true “Objective”, why these “Methods” and what “Tools” are proven?
Now let’s go back to the story. How successful has your current story been working for you?
You know it is finally time to bifurcate when the performance curve is now on the unplanned trajectory.
