WHAT’S THE JOB TO BE DONE?

IFCPP is very pleased to continue the leadership training series that our esteemed Advisor, Steve Woolley of 98-2 Enterprises, has been presenting for the last few years.  This year’s segment includes more of the leading information on the subject, from Mr. Woolley and other nationally recognized experts…

SINCE LAST TIME…

In our last note about the “Job to Be Done”, we were invited to explore our:

• Roles
• Contribution Statements to those Roles
• Connection of our Activities/Actions to solid related behaviors and the Objectives of our Job.

The next logical challenge, if the above mentioned 3 are solidly set….is how to stay focused in what Chris McChesney and other co-authors call “The Whirlwind” in the book “The Four Disciplines of Execution”.

It is almost predictable that the “Law of Opposition” gets in the way of the “Law of Opportunity”. This on going challenge requiring us to keep our eye on the ball…

Research from many sources report that managed outcomes of the “Job To Be Done” come from…

• Keeping our Contribution relevant…real.
• Measuring…but…Measuring What Matters Most
• Discipline to Objectives/Goals (Say..Do)
• Seeking Feedback (seeing things as they really are)
• Courage to change as needed

So here’s the our challenge…

As Bob Hawke says, “The Things which are most important, don’t always scream the loudest.”

• Are we listening?
• What do we hear?
• What will we do…Really?

Stay tuned for more pre-conference session updates, and don’t miss this important session at Yale in September!
