1. What are your best hopes?
2. What will your closest friend notice is different about you
when you realize these hopes?

hopes and 1 being the opposite; where are you on this
scale?

The progress happens through checking in on your effort and achievement.
This can happen in many ways, here are some ideas that I use with
leadership and team coaching:
•daily phone call – I call you every day at the same time and ask you to go
through your leadership behavior change list and share your scored effort.
•weekly coaching meeting – we meet or have a phone call every week,
during the call we review your scored effort and ask about what you wish
to amplify and dampen.
•accountable team meetings – your team chooses to make 15 minutes
per/week to share and discuss your scored effort.
•you and your manager or direct report – do this process together and
meet every day for 5 to 10 minutes to share scored effort and discuss the
day.

What makes this process work?
1.you control what you wish to change and put effort into.
2.the daily practice taking 5 to 10 minutes to read and self-score your effort
on areas of leadership behavior change that are important to you.
3.knowing that someone besides you is going to ask you about your
leadership behavior change and scored progress keeps the effort and check-
in happening.
4.each behavior is something active that you can change, it does not depend
on someone else to do something for you or for someone else to change.
5.doing this as a team or with a peer creates a shared model and process,
having shared language for change helps to discuss and support small steps
that work.
