To address Elco Joi's concern, rather than focusing on "did it work or not", leaders and teams should focus on "what did we do that seemed to work well?" and "what did we do that didn't seem to help" and "what might have we done that we didn't do." There's always room for improvement, but many opportunities are squandered because of busy-ness, or because examination may be embarassing.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15214490286446730336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902647.post-51645535564376410812010-10-23T09:14:34.763-04:002010-10-23T09:14:34.763-04:00Dear Mr. Roberto,

However, i find it difficult to compare self reflection of officers with that of managers.<br /><br />It is relatively easy to determine whether a military action was successful (e.g. number of casualties, civilians, etc) which is a direct result of the action that an officer took. On the contrary, the results of a manager actions cannot be observed easily. What you will try to observe (e.g. sales, customer satisfaction) is dependent on many other factors besides the managers actions.<br /><br />Therefore, I would be hesitant in saying that managers should take officers as an example in assessing themselves. Simply because the criteria on which they asses themselves are far more dynamic than the static criteria of officers. Or is there still much common ground?<br /><br />Elco Jol<br />elcojol.comElco Jolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491328969715325042noreply@blogger.com
