Process Management for Ongoing Growth

A successful change path often emerges out of a well managed process. In fact, people change along the way when the process leads to higher performance. Do you remember the baseball Hall of Fame player, Yogi Berra’s words … “Whenever you arrive at a fork in the road – take it.”

The route or process differs for every person, group or project but the brain is conditioned to blaze the best trail when we tether the process to the expected results in a variety of ways. process.jpg

Process management is really another term for continuous personal improvement, where we continue to raise the standards and continue to develop skills to reach higher peaks.

Here is a smart skills checklist – critical questions to consider for the development of a quality process that is intended to bring ongoing improvement to your plans.

1. Are you using your own creative gifts and seeing improved results as a result?
2, Do you build on your mistakes in ways that show visible changes and growth?
3. Is the pace of your progress steady and the right tempo to keep you inspired?
4. Do you recognize and find a way past barriers to improved results?
5. Can you share regular success stories because of the process you follow?
6. Where do you see room for renewal for both the project and your part in it?

The  process – with its coordination, plans, and actions … should not only appeal to your strengths. It should also help you to avoid deadly pitfalls, while you grow, change and develop measurable results for you and your organization. How so? The well managed process generates mental energy that leads to continuous growth.

Hi Ellen, I just finished posting something on my site that goes hand in hand with what you're saying here. For a long time I used to feel that every problem had to have a perfect solution. Now I see that sometimes, when there is a boulder in the road, I may have to leave it there and go around it to move on. I used to learn all my lessons the hard way, and on looking back I realize, I was learning nothing. When I stood back, looked at my boulders and saw I could easily go around them I learned something and life got easier. My goal for this year is to manage my processes better, with less emotion and more intellect.
Happy New Year!

Linda, you speak for many of us when you say that you stepped backed and saw a better way around the barriers.

Wow -- thanks for the inspiration to use our intrapersonal intelligence as a way to reflect and learn more about how to learn. Perhaps that is the biggest lesson of life.

We actually do draw in emotional intelligence -- and yet we use this as a benefit rather than allow it to work against us - as many of us learned the hard way:-) thanks for your insights Linda. I am looking forward to reading your post:-) Happy New Year!
