Do you review your day? EVERY day?
If not, why not?
I can show you a quick and and easy way.
And EFFECTIVE way to review EVERY day.
And how to review EVERY project in REAL time.
Best of all, this process works in EVERY environment where I have and clients have used it.
Even during the chaos of the decade of 2020.
Try this after your next Zoom meeting. Ask one team member to stay late after the meeting, walk through it together. Give it four minutes.
Just ask these three questions.
(1) What went well?
(2) What did not go well?
(3) What one thing can we change IMMEDIATELY?
It’s called *Kaizen or continual improvement. I didn’t know it had a name when I first started using it.
Do not let the simplicity of this method stop you from doing it after EVERY meeting. EVERY Zoom call. It’s also a great nightly routine.
And a great technique to use after EVERY major event.
Ask these three simple questions. Take notes in EVERnote. To make your next event better.
If you don’t do this, you will find yourself and your team making the same mistakes every year at that annual event.
And your event can stay pretty mediocre and eventually fail.
Or each event can get progressively better. You get to choose.
I first used this simple method coaching soccer 30 years ago. It worked then. I still works now.
After being taught how to use these three questions to improve their game and practices, these young soccer players at age 8 started using this technique instinctively. On their own after they saw how it worked.
And at age ten, these players were able to fix what was not working. In real time. During the soccer match. Without a coach, that’s when you know that your team has embraced this technique.
Try this by yourself first.
Then use it with your team.
Do it in writing. Answer these three questions. Take some notes in your phone.
So you can retain what you have learned after every meeting. And implement what you have learned. Immediately.
Your events, your meetings, your work day, your projects will ALL start getting incrementally better.
I’ve seen this work, and I have personally experienced this technique working for more than 30 years.
Here it is again.
Just ask and quickly answer three questions.
(1) What went well?
(2) What did not go well?
(3) What one thing can we change IMMEDIATELY?
*Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning “change for the better” or “continuous improvement.”
Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy regarding the processes that continuously improve operations and involve all employees.
Kaizen sees improvement in productivity as a gradual and methodical process. – from Investopdeia
