Show Notes
In this episode, I discuss the tendency some people and teams have to become too fancy about the approach they use to achieve a goal. The approach can get in the way of the progress they want to make often as a result of:
- Becoming too complex
- Getting lost in the approach
- Failing to bring people with them
- Struggling to prioritise and make decisions
I talk about four things you can do to help support yourself when thinking about the approach:
- Clarity of objective, understanding of the start point, and specific on what next.
- Working out the basics and do them brilliantly
- Importance of MI - what questions are you looking to satisfy. When it comes to MI, because you can doesn’t mean you should
- Start the approach small then, potentially expand
