Your Tasks This Week
This week is about converting that workshop momentum into a concrete “Battle Rhythm” and ensuring the Challenge Strategist is equipped to champion the team’s sustainability plans with senior leadership. To put you in the right mindset, revisit the Learning Deep Dive from Week 1: What does Success look like?
The Team Leader Debrief
Within a few days of the workshop, meet with the Team Leader to harvest the energy and clarity generated.
The Follow-up Note: Ask the Team Leader to draft a summary for the Team, highlighting key decisions and the revised 100-Day Plan. Provide feedback on their draft to ensure it is clear and encouraging, and distribute it within 72 hours.
Facilitation Feedback: Offer specific, constructive feedback on the sessions the Team Leader facilitated during the workshop. Remember to also solicit their feedback on your coaching support.
Planning the Second Half: Discuss exactly what support the Team Leader needs from you for the remaining weeks, including how often you should attend weekly team meetings.
Strategic Alignment with the Strategist
Jointly with the Team Leader, huddle with the Challenge Strategist to solidify the “Sustainability Path”.
The Impressions: Gather their takeaways from the workshop—did they see the shift in the team’s confidence?
Sustainability Foundations: Discuss the actionable ideas for “sustaining the gains” that emerged during the workshop, focusing on what can be launched immediately.
Leadership Engagement: Identify which other senior leaders need to be engaged now to prepare for life after Day 100.
The Briefing Note: Offer to help the Strategist draft a briefing note for the broader leadership group. This note should communicate the team’s progress and invite leaders to participate in final sustainability planning.
