| I love this concept of including your staff in the plan – though I can say I learned the concept the hard way. I used to be so proud of my annual planning outcome, presenting it to my staff, even the elaborate tracking tools I’d create in excel. It was successful, but not near as successful as when I included my team in the plan, the process and the praise. “We-engineering” is exactly this concept. Sure, there are senior levels of planning that has to go on, but there’s no one better to include in logistics, procedures and evaluating practice than those in the trenches. Ask yourself how much “we” you’re using as opposed to “I” and there’s your answer on what needs to happen next. |
