Filter good ideas with the “get stuff done” method
Instructions
-
Create a culture of listening
Develop a system through which employees can voice complaints and propose ideas. -
Express your ideas clearly and concisely
Clarifying an idea can make it easy for your employees either to support it or to offer an alternative. -
Debate ideas with your team members
The conversations should be purely about ideas, not about egos. -
Pull the facts into the decisions
Decisions should be based on facts and sound reason, without the interference of people’s egos. -
Persuade people that a certain decision is right after a decision has been made
Employees will be more eager and willing to execute a decision after they’ve understood the logic behind it. -
Focus on your responsibilities, so that your team can spend more time on the execution of the decision
Don’t waste your team’s time with unnecessary meetings. -
Learn from the execution
Accept that you can make mistakes before you get it right, and that is perfectly normal if you learn from them.
