Week Minus 2 – Preparing the Challenge Note & Recruiting the Team
Week Minus 2
Preparing the Challenge Note & Recruiting the Team
Once you have recruited a Coach and set a date for the Start-Up Workshop, you can hand over the 100-Day Challenge baton to the Coach.
As the Challenge Strategist, you still have important roles to play, even though you are not carrying the baton during the next 100 days.
This week, you need to work with the Coach on two tasks to get ready for the Start-Up workshop.
Two Tasks this Week
Prepare Challenge note
The first task is translating your discussions with the leadership stakeholders into a Challenge Note that needs to go out to 100-Day Team members. The Challenge Note is an important part of the process. This scoping document defines the “mission” of the Team, gives them guidance from leaders, and frees them up to pursue their mission in the way they see fit, with full agency and empowerment. Please go over the Learning Deep Dive on Preparing the Challenge Note for guidance on this.
Select team members
The second task is to continue selecting and recruiting Team members. You want to make sure that their managers, if they had not participated in the leadership stakeholders’ conversations last week, are briefed and consulted. Please coordinate with the Team Coach on this. He can do some of these briefings, pulling you in as needed.
Weekly Assignment
The Coach is assigned to upload the Challenge Note to the Learning Platform. Please make sure this is done. There is no specific assignment for you this week!
