I was reminded today of how, in an effort to improve things in organizations (and in safety too), we often assume we must ADD things … rather than remove things.
Here are 3 things you might consider asking to bring you back to what’s important in improving performance:
- What are we solving for? What is the essence (the simplest way to describe) of what we are trying to accomplish?
- What barriers exist to us executing on this? How do we identify them in a non-threatening and objective manner?
- How can we remove these barriers in a non-threatening way that pulls the team together?
Instead of adding something, consider what you can remove to reduce friction, and improve performance (and happiness).
