Good afternoon,
This week Constant Contact again changed my recommended schedule (which I often just click to accept, and don't pay as close attention to as I should!). I didn't notice the change until I saw this (Monday) morning that the letter is still sitting "scheduled" - to be sent on Friday.
With a busy schedule of travel (I'm in the U. S. this month, visiting from Argentina), family-and-friends get-togethers, etc., I'll ask your forgiveness as I just accept this new schedule, which makes a nearly two week gap in your receipt of my "weekly" letters. From now on until further notice I'll be publishing Friday afternoon. Monthly subscribers will continue to receive the first issue of each month.
How Do You Get
Big Things Done?
Here's Karyn Chylewski, another coach whose acquaintance I recently made on LinkedIn, discussing ways to build on small victories.
In a pretty short time, a series of small victories can take your team and your company to a whole new level of success. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu reminds us, "A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step". The important thing is to keep taking those steps.
For a leader an important part of building great teams is recognizing, and helping the team members recognize, their accomplishments, however small they may seem. If everyone on the team takes a moment to recognize their own accomplishments, others' individual accomplishments, and the team's accomplishments, those moments are well invested.
Those celebratory moments can be quite fleeting, and should be, except for major milestones - the milestones deserve a party. Matching the level of celebration with the magnitude of the accomplishment is key to having it be effective without detracting from work flow and progress.
Those of you who have been reading for a while know that teamwork and leadership are two of my favorite topics. And of course the two concepts are pretty much inseparable, along with good communication - the lubrication for teamwork.
Karyn shares my enthusiasm for these two important aspects of getting things done in an organization.
You'll do well to read (or watch - she offers you the option) Karyn's blog. Enjoy it!
