Tregoe Education Forum Issue 2010-Q1

In our last issue we discussed some benefits of creating a culture of process users (TEF Flash Issue 2009-2). But how do process leaders help create these positive, high-performing cultures? Successful process leaders use process to:

Visibly address key issues and encourage others to do likewise
Understand issues before taking actions
Get and use accurate, relevant information
Maintain focus on what's important--not just what's urgent
Ask good process questions
Involve others in problem solving
Proactively and constructively address conflict
Monitor for results and adjust as necessary
Take the time necessary to do things right
