Five tips for making your work environment logical
If we aren't logical with our actions, we lose people. My book, Learning Can Stick, is a guide to making every learning experience safe, logical, fun, and memorable. Here are some tips for making your work space make sense to all stakeholders.
Create an agenda: If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. What are the three to five most important things you need to cover in your next discussion/meeting/training. Build your agenda around those things and only those things. Involve others in the planning process. You should not do this alone.
Share the agenda: You should not be the only person who knows the agenda. This should be a team effort and everyone involved should know what to expect. It is okay if the execution isn’t perfect, but it cannot work at all if it is a secret.
Stick to the agenda: Duh…but SO important. If it isn’t on the agenda, it isn’t to be done right now.
Clear is kind: Be incredibly clear with your expectations of your employees. You can’t say, I need this report on my desk ASAP…instead you have to be specific. I need this report on my desk by 2:00 today if at all possible because we have a meeting with the client at 3:00 and I want to review it ahead of time. Thank you.
Be concise: Too much information is just simply too much. You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time.
