The bubble theory is a concept from Lee that is easy to apply in different situations enabling us to understand where we are and the deliberate actions, we can take to influence success. Lee takes us through a range of scenarios demonstrating the positive impact implementing the bubble approach can have across all aspects of personal and professional development.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Identify your current bubble
If you plot where you live, shop, socialise, work this determines your bubble. To improve yourself you need to change your bubble by either;
Expanding its reach
This is about increasing the size of your bubble, if you are a business you can increase the distance over which your customers can get your product.
Filling it with more
You can fill your bubble with more people in the same or similar locations.
Create a leadership bubble and see if your decisions affect only those inside the bubble or those outside as well.
Fill this bubble to understand more things using individuals with specialist skills.
Expand this bubble to learn more about operations and how the decisions you make affect what happens and other people in the business.
- Whether personal or professional development
You need to understand the size of your bubble first and what you are trying to do and deliver. Its then possible to increase the size of the bubble
If you are a business do you know your customer profile? Visit your shops, what type of customers buy from you?
To expand find more of the same or create new products and services to attract different customers
How can you fill it with more things that are working for you, things that are successful can you find more of this type of customer?
