#3 Leadership action
Remove barriers hindering performance
1. When did we last ask “What’s not working?” and then act on it? Are we driving to root causes?
2. Do we ask our people “What do you need to be more effective?” on a regular basis?
3. Does everyone know the difference between a mistake and under-performance?
4. How do we respond to a mistake? What’s it like in our culture to speak truth to power?
5. Does our behavior match our values?
