Special Encore Presentation: Five Factors That Stops Us
Visual Workplace Radio: Let the Workplace Speak - A podcast by Gwendolyn D. Galsworth, Ph.D.

Why is getting improvement going so tricky? Why do companies so often bail in the early stages—long before they have had time to fail? Why is it that the start stops us? Building on last week’s show when we learned the difference between the HOW of deployment and the WHAT, Gwendolyn Galsworth, your host and visual expert, maps out five factors that can doom our best efforts to launch successful improvement initiatives. The first factor, discussed last week, is the mistaken pursuit of perfection. Secondly, we are often far too casual about choosing the methodology itself—or it lacks a separate and robust implementation protocol. The third factor that can defeat us is when managers demand results too quickly and, in doing so, rob the organization. Fourth, our trainers begin to train groups for the wrong reasons. Fifth, implementers decide to re-shape the methodology long before they have learned it. It’s the start that stops us. Another great ENCORE show! Gwendolyn is in China.
