  6. Reviewing the Team’s Progress Roles and Responsibilities of Leadership Leadership Management Coaching

  7. The “Review” is an opportunity: • The Sange Creative Tension model: current reality and future vision • Leadership: inspiring to the future; growing people; generating a compelling picture of the future that others see as their own. • Management: getting people to make promises that can be measured (Close ended questions with measurements that are reviewed regularly); • Coaching: occurs after leadership and usually after there has been management; must be asked for; techniques include listening and asking open ended questions; providing support and alternative personal success strategies

  8. Being Clear about the Aim of Measurement • Accountability • Research • Improvement Where does reviewing the team’s progress fall?

  9. The Purpose of the Sponsor Review: • To learn whether the project is on track or is likely to fail. • If the project is not achieving the intended results, to understand why: • Lack of organizational will • Absence of strong enough ideas • Failure to execute changes • To provide guidance, support, and stimulus to the team on will, ideas, and execution. • To decide whether the project should be stopped, moved to another team, or…

  10. Process of the Review • Not “How’s it going y’all!” • Pre-meeting preparation • A well executed meeting process • System for post meeting communication

  11. Pre-Meeting Preparation • Know the context of the project. Why are we doing this and how does it relate strategically. • Read the report before the meeting! • Communicate with the team leader to establish an agenda and expectations: • no big presentations • review of aims, measures • results prognosis • ideas for next cycle of improvement

  12. The Meeting Itself: the Aim and Measures • Start the review by clarifying the aim: “what exactly are you trying to accomplish?” • Is the bar high enough? • Then ask about measurements: “Please summarize for me the measures you’re using to know whether you’re moving toward your aim”. • Look for a few solid measures • Well defined • Comparative

  13. The Meeting Itself: Review of Data • Within 3-5 minutes you should move to reviewing the data. • Look for clear graphic displays • Spend considerable time on these results – enough to establish that you understand the numbers and more, importantly, that you care about getting results

  14. The Meeting Itself: Encouragement • Share with the team two or three good elements and provide encouragement • “excellent use of segmentation in breaking this ….. up into manageable chunks” • You’ve already completed 16 improvement cycles? that’s almost one every 2 days! Wow!”

  15. The Meeting Itself: trends, Prognosis • Discuss trends and prognosis • “OK, given your progress to date, and the ideas you’re planning to test, make a prediction: Are you going to achieve your aim?”

  16. The Meeting Itself: Uncertain Prognosis related to Will • Is the failure mode primarily related to Will, Ideas or Execution? Look for the following indicators: • Will • Resources necessary for success are not available • A few loud nay Sayers are blocking implementation and spread of good ideas • Absence of obvious connection to organizational strategic goals • Lack of executive or board attention • Line managers are on the sidelines. No accountability

  17. When the Problem is Will: • Excellent opportunity for Senior Leader impact • Inspire the vision • make resources available • Deal with a few loud voices • Channel attention to the importance of the work • Make connections to key strategies • Assign accountability to line managers

  18. Discussion • How have you worked with your teams to build will?

  19. The Meeting Itself: Uncertain Prognosis related to Ideas • Ideas • The team has not gone outside the organization or health care to find the best ideas • Few cycles of improvement have been attempted • “Big Ideas” appear to be absent – changes being tested are safe, incremental, not radical redesign • the team can’t tell you who has the best results in the world on this work.

  20. When Ideas are a Problem • Ask questions: • “What ideas do you have for improvement?” • “Where are you looking for new ideas?” • “Who’s the very best in this?” • Give explicit permission, and encouragement, to try small tests of big ideas; • “It sounds like you have some good ideas already. How could you test one of them and have an answer by the end of the week?” • Be comfortable pushing, supporting innovation and small tests, no matter how crazy!

  21. Discussion • How have you worked with your team to generate ideas?

  22. The Meeting Itself: Uncertain Prognosis: related to Execution • Project set up and management appear to be weak (meetings, data, reports, etc.) • Preparation for spread is not part of the project from the beginning • Good results on pilots, but never scales up.

  23. If Execution is the Problem • Review good project management • Review change leadership principles • Review coaching techniques • Candid discussion of organizational barriers: • culture • information systems • human resource policies • Address “sacred cows”

  24. A Framework for Execution Achieve Strategic Goals Provide Leaders For Large system Projects Spread and Sustain Develop Human Resources Manage Local Improvement Provide Day-to-Day Leadership for Microsystems

  25. Three areas of capabilities for getting results Ability to achieve System Level Aims Aligned with strategic plan Alignment of projects With human and capital investment Local management and supervision Oversight and review Spreading and supporting Environment of joy in work Development of employees to lead initiatives and manage improvement

  26. Discussion • What are some examples of “what worked” in getting results with your team?

  27. Closing the Meeting • “Where do you need help from me?”

  28. Meeting Follow-up • Reminder call or email to the team leader weekly asking for results of tests of change • Communicate to the team what you have done in response to their requests for help.

  29. Common fears and antidotes • “I don’t know much about clinical medicine” or ….. • Using the template doesn’t require being a content expert. • Following the template is your success strategy!

  30. Common Fears and Antidotes • “I don’t know how to interpret run charts and control charts.” “What if I ask a stupid question?” • get training. know and learn the basics of QI so that you can ask meaningful questions about the results. • have humility: don’t be afraid to show your ignorance, and to be taught by your team members.

  31. Common Fears and Antidotes • “I’m concerned that by doing these reviews, I’m stepping into the area of responsibility of one of my direct reports.” • legitimate only if you do every project review. • You can model a good review and demonstrate what it is you want them to emphasize and encourage.

  32. Your Next Executive Team Review • Take the next ten minutes • Consult your schedule • Is there a team meeting scheduled and on your calendar? • If not, either find out when the next team meeting is and schedule on your calendar • Or.. Schedule a team meeting Executive Review.

  33. Leadership: Communicating Team Progress IPC3 Learning Session 2

  34. Communication • The spread of improvement is best supported by informal and social communication rather than formal, hierarchal distribution • Pay attention to means and content • Target the audience: who and how to reach • Know your opinion leaders • Measure the impact and get feedback

  35. Leverage Communication • 20 -30% adoption for most new improvement • 40-50% for complicated new ways

  36. a b Opinion Leaders Noise c d Message Opinion Leaders Channel e Sender f g Feedback Opinion Leaders h i A Multi-step Communication Model Clinical Governance Bulletin, Oct 2001, Sarah Fraser

  37. SENDER • Exactly who is the sender • What is the motivating connection between sender and recipient?

  38. MESSAGE • Not only is the content important • The way it is shared or transmitted • Ideas will be more readily adopted when • They are clearly better than what currently happens • They reflect the beliefs and values of the adopters • They can be safely tested

  39. Important Points to the Message • Targeted to the audience; in the language of the audience not the sender • Make the improvement obvious • Be clear about the relative advantage of the improvement • Be personal, with a clear vision of the future

  44. Opinion Leaders • The role of the sponsor is to find and work with the opinion leaders • Opinion leaders are usually the first to know about a good idea • Peers look to them for guidance • Have the respect and credibility

  45. Issues to consider with Opinion Leaders • Find them. Ask “whose opinion do you respect on this issue?” • Not all will agree; find them and coach them • Expect surprises! • By working through opinion leaders, you’ll cut down the flack!
