The temptation is to run a battery of tests, collect 360-degree feedback and create a balance sheet of what is going well and what needs to improve. Find what’s missing and add it in. It’s that simple.
All solid advice. But, there is one thing missing before you find all the other things you think you missed. The willingness to change.
We know change is hard. We also know it takes a lot of reflection and experimentation necessary to make it happen. So before we go ahead and look for what’s missing. It might be worth considering if there is something missing that no test, feedback, or balance sheet will ever help us find.
