Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 06/06/11
June 6, 2011—Issue #90
This week’s focus point: Having consulted and coached for over 25 years, it occurs to me that most emotionally healthy people understand what is to be done, why it is to be done, and even how to do it. If not, they can quickly gather the awareness, skills, knowledge, and experiences to be able to do it. Yet, too often, nothing is done successfully, be it weight loss, confronting poor behavior, repairing something that’s broken, or implementing a new pricing system. I’m convinced it’s because focus and discipline are weak, and there is little personal or organizational accountability. Having trouble changing, or helping someone change? Focus on the real issue, create a series of steps, and assign accountability using colleagues, rewards, and/or personal pride. It’s seldom a training issue, but rather a behavioral one.
Monday Morning Perspective: Care more for the truth than what people think. — Aristotle
