Today there are two items I wanted to share with you:
#1 – The latest installment of the #90DaysPlanDoTrack Video Montage. These are a summary of some of the daily question prompts I have shared over at the CoachingBizBuilder Instagram feed. They will be of interest to business owners, leaders and other team members.
#2 – I also wanted to share another post from the vault here at the Teams365 blog. Given our focus this month on Teamwork in uncertainty, you’ll also want to think about how prioritization can be a skill cultivated with all team members. Whether the team is working remote or in person, when things are changing quickly being able to prioritize work and ask questions to others to prioritize is also a key skill.
Here’s a post I wrote last year on Prioritization and Teamwork in Complexity – Teams365 #1610
Prioritization is a skill set we draw upon regularly in times of complexity. Prioritization allows all team members to regularly scan and manage their workload.
Key to prioritization is:
- Having the tools to prioritize
- Feeling empowered to make decisions and take responsibility for managing workload
- Understanding what is most important – to the different players of the team, as well as the different time frames you are working on (short term, medium term)
In past Teams365 posts I’ve explored a range of prioritization skills including the Urgent/Important Matrix (we often attribute to Covey), as well as a Decision Matrix where we weight what’s important in making our decisions
For more on the topic of prioritization, check out these additional resources:
- This excellent article from MindTools.com - which has an incredible amount of other resources team members and leaders will also want to check out.
- LiquidPlanner.com's article on How to Prioritize Work When Everything Is #1 - Read it here.
- For those that are looking at prioritization through the lens of product design, you'll want to take a look at this excellent article 20 Product Prioritization Techniques.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
