Consulting Approach
Agile organizations, teams, and leaders benefit from understanding a simple equation that provides a more complete view of why they get the results they receive. The equation is:
What are our desired results for this challenging situation (People and Tasks)
What behaviors serve us well in this situation?
What behaviors do not serve us well in this situation?
How do we need to develop, start, or stop?
What about the current environment is working well?
What about the current environment is not working well?
What are our leverage points for making positive change?
Results
The outcomes of our past actions or the desired outcomes of our future actions.
Behaviors
The combination of our collective actions, habits, personality, perspectives, personal values, goals, etc. Below are questions for leaders to assess how their behaviors impact their current results.
- How do I contribute to this undesired result?
- How do our habits and strengths serve us well?
- How do our habits and weaknesses not serve us well?
- How do our perspectives about this situation impact our behaviors?
- Are our actions aligned with our values and long-term goals?
- Do we have the knowledge and skills to be successful?
Environment
The processes, systems, people, values, structure, physical resources, culture, etc. of our setting. Below are examples of questions targeted at understanding the contextual factors (good and bad) that influence your situation.
- What about this environment makes it difficult to succeed?
- Are goals clearly defined and aligned for success?
- Are roles clearly defined and aligned for success?
- How effective are the processes, policies, procedures, rewards, etc.?
- What constraints (time, resources, etc.) does this situation present for you and others?
Learning how to ask the right questions about behaviors and the environment enables organizations, teams, and leaders to define their levers for meaningful action.
