Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
Here’s a surprisingly powerful technique to improve yours or your teams’ performance. And it’s free! Basically, an individual uses a group in a simple manner to help change the individual’s behavior. The part that makes this surprising is the personal and business benefits that are described in this article in Fast Company.
The author, after having a colleague diagnose two behavioral problems that were getting in the way of his success, assembled a “Behavioral Change Group” made up of selected colleagues. Over a period of months, they helped him rid himself of these behaviors, one of which was impatience. He then finds that he is working much more successfully in his job and his employee satisfaction ratings increased dramatically. You can go to his website, again for free, and download a system to use to make this work.
The points I want to make here are that
-
This or a similar technique can be used in a team in your project to improve interpersonal interactions and thus team performance. As long as everyone is working in good faith, obstacles can fall like so many autumn leaves.
-
Further, it is the behaviors of managers or leaders – the actions – that workers either respect and want to emulate or that cause them to reject that leadership. Use whatever method you can to rid yourself of habits or behaviors that interfere with your success as a manager!
