The 7 - Step Process to SUCCESS
1) Identify the Opportunity
You learn to identify opportunities for yourself or other people. Or you identify new skills needed within your team, due to a new need or after a mistake occurs.
2) Visualize the desired Outcome
Once the opportunity is identified, it is important to be very precise about what the ideal situation will look like. This is the step that many people skip or don't develop fully, which can lead to confusion, misunderstanding, and frustration for all involved.
One of the most important is, having a vision or end goal in mind. Without that, people often lose sight of what’s important, and they will get off track from making changes. People with a clear vision of what the end result is, tend to move more decisively.
3) Establish the right Attitude
How well we know what motivates our people may determine how we can establish the right Attitude.
This step is a critical part of the process. Without it we spend a great deal of our time just overcoming resistance. We often hear that people resist change. It isn't true. People resist being changed when they
1) don't see the need, 2) don't want to do it, or 3) believe that the change is not possible for them. Whenever people are asked to change without their buy-in, we create resistance.
STEP
4) Provide the Resources
In order to be successful, it is important the appropriate resources be available ( time, personal commitment, money, equipment, training, information, and upper level buy-in and support.
5) Practice & Skill Development
In order for knowledge to evolve into a skill, we practice it and perfect the skill, ensuring that we are practicing the new skill and not the old habit. Practice also allows us to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
6) Reinforce Progress
Making progress without a way to reinforce it and keep it in place, people may quickly go back to old habits.. One of the biggest fallacies is the assumption that if people know something, they will do it. People don't do what they know; they do what they have always done.
It is imperative to empower people to get results after they have learned new skills, giving them the right kind of feedback, following up, handling nonperformance issues immediately and handling mistakes and people who get off track
7) Reward
One of the best ways to cement growth and progress is to reward it. What we reward gets repeated. What gets repeated becomes habit. Change is uncomfortable. That is why people often revert back to their former
ways if there is no reinforcement and reward. Habit is stronger than knowledge. Learn how to praise and give recognition, how to use positive feedback techniques and how to recognize people's strengths and accomplishments |
