Four patterns = more growth

Colleagues,

Let’s imagine that you are observing someone in your workplace.
 
Why are you observing them?
 
There are four basic reasons:

• You are evaluating their performance in order to make an employment decision.
• You are just wanting to see what’s happening.
• You are following up on implementation.
• You are supporting a specific person in developing a specific skill.

 
Uncertainty around the why and the how for each of these patterns of observations creates confusion and limits the usefulness of each of them.
 
Naming and understanding the terms, their different uses, and structures can help improve our ability to engage in the fourth principle of strategic leadership – growing people.
 
Yesterday I asked for some volunteers to give me some feedback on this idea by watching a 45-minute video and taking 15 minutes to give me feedback. This pilot runs between May 3-17. If you an hour and would like to help, please email me here and I’ll give you further instructions. No pressure.
 
Cheers!

​Frederick
