"How Are We Doing?" Existing managerial activities provide everyone feedback from supervisors (vertical) and colleagues (horizontal) but overlooked is feedback one gets from their own daily activities--it is difficult to manage. We provide a recipe with which frontline leaders can, however, lead activities to provide this feedback. The
"missing-link" --- A "Re-asking" or
secondary group asking process
to lead the frontlines of daily operations/activities. Provide
customer feedback for everyone from the
workplace/daily activity itself ! Feedback from not only associates,
but partners
as well as
customers. Defining the "Secondary Group Asking Process" -- "Secondary" - re-asking a few key questions from senior management/administration as to "what" needs to be done to answer "How are we doing?" from a daily frontline operations perspective. "Group" - any group of people with the same "customer/beneficiary", requiring a common and continuous focus, learning, and commitment. "Asking" - going beyond verbal questions to the non-verbal parts of thought, emotion, learning, and communications. Leading activities to compliment feedback (answers) through reflection, inquiry, and challenge. "Process" - simply a set of actions which can be initiated anytime and anywhere as any other skill or tool for human interaction. Providing a critical and often missing feedback for individuals--that from their own daily activities! Demonstrating soft skills such as appreciation, intentions, reflection, attention, and dialogue. |
