As an example, in case you're interested, here's a little list of ways I help people in organizations (made up of more people) navigate complex situations and change:1.Optimize teamworka) Avoid problems that come from misunderstandings (people making assumptions, lack of listening, not grasping concepts) - I notice misunderstandings as they happen and help clear things up before it causes problems down the road.b) Make the most of meeting time. (stick to the agenda, prevent getting off on rabbit trails, hold the details of conversation threads in my head and rewind to where things went off track)c) Provide a neutral sounding board and mediation between parties.2. Support thinking for clarity and strategya) Help to discern the core questions that need to be answered. This forms the foundation that needs to be laid for everything else to fall into place (and I gently insist that the hard work be done before moving on to the easier, more fun details).b) Ask questions that bring new insight because I'm new to the situation and don't take anything for granted.c) Bring a fresh outside perspective (and pointing things out that insiders can't or won't).3. Hold the process so you don't have toa) Take notes in meetings.b) Write summaries and next steps.c) Provide peace of mind so you can move easily between being present for the change process and keeping normal operations running.
