What have you got to lose?

 Colleagues,
 
Yesterday we thought about some questions we should always ask before embarking on a new initiative or jumping on a “great opportunity.” Today I want to dig a little deeper on one question:

1. What’s the purpose?

 
Intuitively, most leaders will consider this, but they often aren’t able to describe the answer in very specific terms. This is especially true when we are engaging in a practice that is sound.
 
For example, should we evaluate people’s performance? Of course!
 
But why? 
 
There are different answers to that question, and your specific answer should have a big impact on what the evaluation process looks like.
 
Take a few minutes to think about some of the initiatives you are engaged in right now. What is the specific purpose?
 
If you reflect today it may help you get more out of tomorrow’s email.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
