Here are four questions that I continually ask our team at the Rescue Mission. I think they’re great questions for every team.
What are we doing well? Knowing what you are doing well can be a point of celebration, but it can also be a path that other departments can duplicate.
What Can We Simplify? Things tend to get more complicated with time. It slows organizations down and adds unnecessary work. Simplify for efficiency and effectiveness.
What Can We Stop Doing? After a while, some projects just don’t pack the punch they once did. Sometimes organizations don’t even know why they’re doing them, they just always have. Make a stop doing list personally and organizationally.
Where Can We Work Together? Isolation usually brings organizational sickness. We need to work together, have others challenge our assumptions and dogmas. Get people together and push for answers.
