As leaders, creativity and imagining how to improve the product, processes, culture, and overall organizational performance is an ongoing challenge. Yet, a simple element we grossly overlook, and which is far simpler to address with almost immediate impact, is what not to do.
What should you stop doing that exists today?
- Keeping toxic people that are repeatedly the topic of unproductive discussions.
- Making excuses for poor behavior and performance.
- Setting on yet another priority: you soon will have none.
- Taking action without thinking.
- Accepting that convenience is optimal.
- Believing that more is better.
- Seeking change and expecting others should change, not you.
- Thinking that nothing will change, since if you do think so, it won’t.
As part of the quarterly review, organizations should be encouraged to reflect on what we should stop doing that we do today. Then, do it, or else we must add procrastination and false hope to the list.
