Make Let’s Play Catch! a Team Sport
October 10, 2005, 10:57 amI’ve taught Making and Securing Reliable Promises (MSRP) back-to-back for two construction firms in the last month. Both are good-sized firms operating in California. Each put two dozen people in a room with me or on the phone. I’m always surprised by the reaction people have to the course material. Making and keeping promises and having others do the same for you is challenging work. While the ideas are simple, the reaction each time is “So, that’s how it works!”
More surprising is how people engage in the course. There’s the usual “I don’t have time to do the homework,” along with the majority of participants that are unwilling to speak in class. However, I keep teaching the course because of the minority of students who engage fully. One recent report, “I’m amazed at how contagious this has become,” is the payoff. And all it takes is two week’s homework taking 15 minutes each day.
Contact me to explore how I can work with your team.
