Sunburst II

5/21/2020

0 Comments

 
​ Colleagues,
 
The beauty of going from point A to point B is that you don’t have to go far to realize you are off track!
 
In Monday’s email, which came out Tuesday, I mentioned that this topic is a 1 ½ day workshop. Fitting it into five 300-word messages isn’t working, so we are adjusting course.
 
The first step to identifying the root problem of an issue is to identify all of the stakeholders. The second step is to engage in the sunburst activity.
 
Example: our meetings are unproductive. Why?
Picture
  • People have their own agenda
  • People monopolize time
  • People are unprepared
  • The agenda doesn’t get shared
  • We deal with trivial things first
  • There is not enough time
  • People argue in circles (not “people are jerks”)
  • Too much information
  • We focus on the wrong things
Notice:
  • This Is not a thorough list. 
  • I did this on my own so there are missing perspectives.
  • The first three points are about people, or possibly one person! It is easy to latch onto something and throw down a bunch of stuff, but in this phase that’s okay!
  • You may already see some patterns, but this is not the time to censor your thoughts or start reducing the variety.
  • These responses were shaped by my perspectives and experiences. Without others’ perspectives and experiences, the list will be incomplete.
  • All of these can be true.
 
Please do one of two things:
  1. Think about some additional “whys” that should be on the sunburst and email them to me by clicking here.
  2. Think about one of your own issues and create a quick sunburst on you own (or get brownie points for involving others).
 
If I don’t receive a bunch of emails I’ll know you have been busy reflecting =;^}
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
