Notes de l'éditeur
Set Goal(s) – define exactly what the leader hopes to achieve2. Identify starting point(s) – work out how far the leader is from achieving the goals3. Close the gap – to identify the activities that need to be completed to ‘close the gap’ between principle 1 and 24. Measure Progress – work out whether the activities have achieved the goal5. Pivot or Persevere – action plans following the outcome of principle 4. In this context pivot means to change goal because the current goal has been achieved and persevere means to continue working on the current goal because it is yet to be achieved 6. Engage - effectively communicate principles 1-5 to your group by differentiating to their needs, preparing resources and making plans for unexpected circumstances7. Develop – identify the areas of improvement for each of the above principles. In this context the leader would identify which activities worked well and how they could be differentiated or improved.
Also, start to jot down what tasks are involved in each, how long they’ll take, how many will be assigned to them
Resources means: time, budget, people available, materials
Hands up – who’s heard of Gantt charts?
Nice cup of tea – science to making one
