– Using the ‘7 Steps to High Performance Teams’ in an entrepreneurial way
If we are to hold a manager accountable for managing staff, they must have accountability and the necessary authority to exercise their judgment over their team. Otherwise you are handicapping their work and forcing them to feel unaccountable because they have no authority to do their work.
Systems-Drive-Behaviors putting a manager into a system that forces them to be accountable, when you do not give them any authority over their work only leads to frustration, burnout, negative behaviors and poor quality work.
To complete work the employee must have the appropriate resources. This does not mean that a manager needs to supply all the resources that employees desire, but it does mean that the manager should supply employees with sufficient resources. Resources can include materials, consultants, training, staff, etc.; without the proper resources frustration will occur and this frustration leads to disengaged employees.

7 Steps to High Performance Teams.
The cooperation loop is a mindset of working to find cooperation…any size large and small and develop practice of building from that cooperation.
I argue that it works way better than the resistance loop and the results are greater for everyone.
We find it easier to join the crowd and complain. As opposed to being the outcast who sees the supposed-enemy as a possible-cooperator.
Results without a process is luck. Process without results is waste. How are your processes driving the goals you work to achieve?
Feeling stuck?
Looking for a Solution Finding Stimulus?
When I feel overwhelmed, lost, stuck, unsure of what to do (that happens every day)…Having a method to focus my thoughts and next steps brings me back to getting work done.
If it takes you a long time to learn the new way of thinking and doing things, you fear being punished for your lack of productivity.
We all get stuck in the explanation mode. Forgetting that progress towards meaningful goals is the driver of innovation and motivation.
