Get a notebook, find a safe place to keep it and everyday, maybe 5 minutes, write down notable conversations and communications with staff.<\/p>\n
Also include anything important about the days events.<\/p>\n
Kind of a management diary of sorts.<\/p>\n
Not “going into their file” type of documentation but just a running log of things that made an impact to the day – positive or negative.<\/p>\n
Perhaps we acknowledged someone for stepping up.<\/p>\n
Maybe we mentioned to someone about always keeping the apples stocked.<\/p>\n
Maybe it was a reminder about personal talk or maybe something like asking someone why isle 3 didn’t get faced.<\/p>\n
Whatever it was – write it down.<\/p>\n
Now you’ve got history.<\/p>\n
Now you’ve got a record of facts and facts are the fuel that power the engine of accountability<\/p>\n
It takes away “recollections” and “assumptions” about work performance.<\/p>\n
It brings clarity.<\/p>\n
Who can remember every little thing that goes on each day with all the millions of things we have to do.<\/p>\n
You now have the ability to see cycles and patterns of performance that may need addressing.<\/p>\n
And you can check yourself.<\/p>\n
Have you been acknowledging and recognizing good work enough?<\/p>\n
Have you had enough uplifting chats?<\/p>\n
When you’re 3 or 6 months down the line and need some supporting facts are you going to remember?<\/p>\n
Give this idea a try…I think you’ll like it.
