Character and Competence

 

Tip #2 - Character & Competence

Here is a new Trust Tip from Stephen M.R. Covey.  If you missed our first post on Trust Counterfeits, you can read it here.

Trust is not only about the kind of person you are. Trust is a product of both Character and Competence. 

Within Character and Competence are the four cores of credibility: Integrity, Intent, Capabilities, and Results. Your character is what is below the surface, and your competence is what others can readily see.  Here’s a model that we use in our Speed of Trust Training Programs to describe The 4 Cores of Credibility:

Trust Counterfeits

Tip #1 - Trust Counterfeits

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be sharing a few Trust Tips from Stephen M.R. Covey, based on his our popular leadership process pulled from his best-selling book, TheSpeed of Trust.   

In our program titled, Leading at the Speed of Trust, leaders begin the process by taking a 360-degree assessment where they gather feedback from their boss, peers and direct reports around The 4 Cores of Trust and The 13 Behaviors of High Trust Leader, mentioned in the book.  This feedback is able to come from up to 30 respondents in a confidential format. 

In the 2-day program, leaders not only learn about these behaviors, they learn about their counterfeits.  When leaders exhibit these counterfeit behaviors regularly, they create Trust Taxes for their team which ultimately slow down performance and increase costs towards the bottom line. 

Today’s Trust Tip is acknowledging the Counterfeit Behaviors.  The most damaging risk to trust isn’t usually the opposite behavior (like lying, poor performance, disrespecting others, etc).  Those are easily identified and stopped.  The biggest problem is often trust counterfeits. 

Counterfeits are behaviors that appear on the surface to be high-trust but that actually damage relationships.  Be careful not to engage in counterfeits.

Here are some examples:

PM Tips FINAL

We hope that you have enjoyed our posts over the last few weeks with tips on how to run an effective project management campaign.  If you are just now reading them, you can click here to go to the archive and start reading from the beginning.

For more information about our program, Project Management Essentials, let’s talk.  Send an email to john.vakidis@franklincovey.com to request a meeting by phone or in person.

Below are a few more tips to wrap up the series.  Enjoy!

 

Project Management Tip #9

When you need to have a difficult conversation during your project, use a Conversation Planner.  This ensures you hit the key topics and are able to produce results from the meeting. 

It covers: 

•         Identifying your intent before the meeting occurs

•         What are the facts?

•         What is the impact?

•         What are the action items after the meeting? When do those need to be completed?

 

Project Management Tip #10

When changes to a project are made, it’s important to document them and get key stakeholder approval.  We use a Project Change Request Form to facilitate this process. This ensures everyone understands the changes and the impact it will have on the overall project. The Change Request form includes:  

•         The proposed change

•         The reason for the change

•         How the change will affect Time, Scope, Quality, Resources, Budget, and Risk

•         Signatures from the key stakeholders

Project Management Tip #11

As a project manager, you need to monitor & control the project without becoming a micromanager. Use a Project Status Report to check on the project deliverables on a regular basis.  This allows you to both monitor the people responsible for items and communicate with key stakeholders in an organized way.

 

•       Identify the deliverables and if each one is On Target, At Risk, or In Danger.

•       Gather “Clear the Path” items that others need to assist with, and assign them to specific individuals with specific due dates.

•       Share the Project Status Report with both project team members and key stakeholders

•       Include the Project Status Reports in your files on the project. They are useful during the Close phase to analyze what worked well and where projects faced challenges.

Project Management Tip #12

When a project is complete, you still have the vital step of Closing. This is often neglected and leads to “history repeating itself” on projects. Be sure to document Lessons Learned so future projects can use that information during the planning stage. 

 

•       What worked well?

•       What could be improved?

•       Based on what we learned, what will we do differently?

Project Management Tip #13

Use a Closing Checklist when finishing a project to ensure you’ve captured all the necessary information and completed the important tasks.  Some of the items may not apply to all projects.
