"New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results." -@JamesClear

What does the product director at @USArmy PEO EIS/GFIM say about SAFe? “The first year was tough," he said. "It involved lots of learning and growing as a collective team.” But he said the hard work paid off, and the effort was “wildly successful." dvidshub.net/news/452185/gfe…

Strategic Themes without a coherent strategy are just dreams. A list of goals is not a strategy. Attend my next LPM course and learn what is a strategy and why you organization is not achieving its business outcomes. bit.ly/438P5Yo

Doing a big batch of annual performance reviews is wasteful. It delays frequent feedback and opportunities for coaching. Think about the why behind performance reviews and identify better ways to achieve your performance goals. Individual rewards brings individual results.
Why are we so attached to performance appraisals? They are 3rd on Dr. Deming's Seven Deadly Diseases of Management! John and Andrew talk about our attachment appraisals & the myth that they impact performance. podcast.deming.org/performan…
