Notes de l'éditeur
- Which of these have you experienced with the other generations you work with? What is the most important nugget you received during this discussion?
- For value-creation -- not value-destruction, it is better understanding that starts the chain. We need to have different thoughts to change behaviors. (Jen, see the Word doc for the graphic that goes here). Reflection: What would be different if we could have deep authentic, value-creating conversations?
- Note the direction of the arrow! Let’s reflect.What happens when we misunderstand a colleague? What is the basis of misunderstandings? How do we get to disagreements?How can you tell when someone gets defensive? How easy is it to come back from a destructive conversation?
- Relevance is a compelling communication and generational word. From a communication perspective, we need relevant facts. In fact, it is the foundation of good communication. Generationally, each generation is looking to make sure they are relevant! COMMUNICATIONWhole messages: incorporates the factual, airs assumptions, adds in the emotional and requests a specific action. A. I see …. (the facts or observations)B. I think….(surfacing my assumptions) C. I feel …. (my reaction to the facts or observations) D. I need …. (my request of the person)Most organizations use partial messages -- one or two 2 versus all phrases. Using A, B and C tend to get no action since a request has not been made and people ask, “So what?” Using B, C and D sound like opinion only as it cuts out the why behind the request. The combination of A and D or D only comes as dictorial. Combining C and D is seen as emotional and needy. It has no explanation. Use all four steps and communicate more effectively. (Jen, pls put in italics)

- SAY: So now that everything is there on paper in front of you, you can begin to see which things are more important than others. The point of this section is essentially how to prioritize your work and your week so that you get the important things done …. Or at least get to work on them. We want to attempt to plan so that we are not always in a reactive mode (remember Habit 1?) In any case, when we talk about “prioritizing”, usually we divide tasks into critical and not-critical. There’s a better way.This section is where 80/20 + applying skill to students own schedule + doing more of what matters being strategic and focusedMore of what?Focus on value!
