That’s right cleaning. We clean storerooms, bathrooms, boardrooms. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get dirty. Presentation, of your business, your dress, your demeanor is one of the easiest things to change and the first to be overlooked in the throes of everyday business.
Mood is the foundation of it all—the first steps of changing company culture.
Sustain the Momentum
Momentum is the only way to sustain change and grow. Once things get going, it’s hard to stop. Have the right people in the right positions, the mood is set, drive change and get out of the way and LEAD!
Keep these things in mind when working to sustain momentum:
• Accept and encourage mistakes. Mistakes help you assess your team and determine if you need
to recruit other people like skilled technicians.
• Be direct and talk about elephants in the room. Ride ‘em! Teach them tricks! It may feel wrong but it’s the better way.
• Always ask “What am I not seeing?”
• Be prepared for disruptions. Avoid them. Anticipate them. Attack them! Change is hard, and to sustain momentum you must plan, prepare and address disruptions promptly.
Start your 118 with a rough draft. Then, do another draft. Then, put it down for a while and come back to it. Does it still ring true? Repeat the process. When you finally arrive at a 118 that best suits your business, you’ll know it. The vibe will be there. It’ll feel good rolling off your tongue. You’ll wake up in the morning reciting it and go to bed at night doing the same thing.
You’ll believe it. After all, if you don’t, nobody else will.
