time will be required? Which tasks can you delegate or
even move to your “To Don’t” list in order to free up
the necessary time? If you would schedule downtime
to improve a machine then it will be difficult to justify
why you would fail to invest the same percentage of
time in your leadership capability.
4. Accountability. How will progress be measured?
Who will measure and how often? The same
motivations that make it easier to be consistent
about physical training when you have a work out
buddy apply here. Consistency trumps perfection,
your progress will be measured in small successes,
less frequent derailment, and faster recovery time. In
times when you need a reminder to get back on track
it will be helpful if you have scripted things for your
colleague, ala, “Remember when you told me . . .”
5. Rewards and Consequences. With successful
completion of the goal what benefit will you enjoy?
What will the impact be on the company or the
leadership team? Most often the positive or negative
consequences are built in. They may be as public
as prosperity or private as a New Years resolution.
One of the reasons be explicit about this is that the
promises we make to ourselves are often the most
impactful, and the easiest to break. In some cases it
may add motivation to keep these important promises
if you impose a dire consequences upon yourself. A
light-hearted example was the CEO that promised,
“If I do not lose the weight by March 1 I will stand on
the shipping scale for all to see at the companywide
meeting.” We are talking dire consequences.
What is the work you were born to do? What talents,
skills, and experience most often combine to produce
your peak performance? Which of your strengths, if
you were to focus for an improvement of even 10%,
would have the greatest impact for you and those
your lead? You can improve your effectiveness with a
personal leadership PM plan.
