The other day I mentioned Discretionary Effort Level. I got the phrase from Les McKeown. If you’re a part of a growing an organization and haven’t anything from him or heard of the book predictable success, it’s a great framework for assessing what stage of organizational growth you’re at and what mentality you need to carry in that stage.
The seven stages are:
1) Early Struggle
2) Fun
3) Whitewater
4) Predictable success
5) Treadmill
6) The Big Rut
7) Death Rattle
Something to think about. What stage are you in? What mentality do you need for this stage? How do you approach this?
