Triggered By A Tough Feedback Moment
- A staff member told John he didn't listen, which prompted John to change his approach.
- He used a visible "L" on his notepad to remind himself to listen during meetings.
Start Small, Write It, Get Accountability
- Start small on any new discipline to build momentum with sure wins.
- Write your plan down and get accountability from others to lock in progress.
