Dictums
MANAGEtoWIN, Inc.
MEETING IDEAS |
The following is an outline you can use, or improve, to discuss the value of dictums for individuals on your team or as a group. The use of dictums should be voluntary. This discussion should be to inform and encourage, rather than mandate participation. 1. Contact Coach Nava directly for his brochure that lists his Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 dictums. You can share these with your group. 2. Discuss your company culture cornerstones - Mission (why you are in business), Values (how you do business), and Vision (where you are going as an organization). Could you and your people develop better habits so you all would live out your company culture cornerstones more consistently? 3. What are the key behaviors you want to develop? Step #1: Decide what types of behaviors you want to encourage. Coach Nava's list is Physical, Directional, Nutritional, Emotional, and Mental. These surround the core behavior, which is Spiritual. You decide what is your core and what surrounds it. Step #2: Create a list of up to 21 dictums that is a balance the positive statements you want to train yourself/yourselves to believe so in turn you develop "better" habits. 4. Do a pilot. Start by asking everyone to say your dictums aloud for a week. Maybe you will want to edit them before completing a 70 day pilot to evaluate how stating dictums aloud each morning helps people become more productive, profitable, and personally fulfilled in your organization. Let me know if you want help developing dictums for your organization. Or send me your drafts for comment. |
