As you experiment with these solutions you’ll want to evaluate constantly. This is an ongoing thing, remember this is not a problem to solve, it’s a tension to be managed. We want to be trying different things out. Asking as we go how did that work? Evaluating, tweaking the dials again. Keeping this conversation on the table with our team is a good idea, maybe that’s’ monthly or bi-monthly that we are re-looking at some of things we are trying. And evaluating them and constantly experimenting.
As we are experimenting and evaluating and tweaking dials, there are key insights that you can be sharing up with your supervisor. One could be things that are working. “Hey, we figured this works out pretty well. Maybe we want to share that information with other teams.” The second could be concerns, maybe you’ve identified some gaps in our processes, some bodies of work that nobodies owning, or maybe just that persistent concern that maybe we are undermanned and we really do want to be thinking about adding headcount here. These are the types of things that you don’t’ want to manage alone. You want to be elevating these conversations with your supervisor and keeping that communication flowing.
As we close this module out, remember there are some additional resources attached to this module, so be sure to check those out. please reach out if we can support you in any way we’d be happy to. Have a great day and thanks for what you do as leaders!
