The Leadership Growth Podcast
How to Create an Effective Action Plan for Development
“Some of the best goals out there have a 50% or 60% chance of success,” says Daniel.
How effective are your change efforts? If you only have a 20% chance of success, you may be sabotaging yourself. On the other hand, if you set a goal that has an 80% chance of success, are you really making a significant change?
In this episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast, Daniel and Peter offer some guidelines and tips for creating an effective action plan for sustained change.
“The ceiling on strengths is a lot higher than the ceiling on our weaknesses,” says Peter.
Tune in to learn:
- The five elements of an effective action plan
- The right time frame to work on a new behavior
- The role of “micro-experts” in your personal action plan for change
Plus, how full is your tea cup? Peter shares a Zen parable that’s relevant to pursuing change. And Peter and Daniel reflect on hearing Colin Powell speak–and the unique team-building exercise developed by their dad.
