Some make things run a lot smoother, and some create a bottleneck. These are often the areas of opportunity where people start to say things like this: \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s too complicated; let\u2019s not overthink it.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s the way we\u2019ve always done it.\u201d \u201cWe tried, and that\u2019s never worked for us before.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t have the time to overhaul that.\u201d The reality is that if your culture really is out of alignment with your values, you haven\u2019t tried it this way and you are constantly wasting time by not pausing to look at it and make better choices for your efficiency, productivity, and well-being. If you were to sift through each of these areas in your organization, I bet you\u2019d find some gold.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Set boundaries with your schedule.<\/strong> The way we spend our time is a direct reflection of the phrase \u201cactions speak louder than words.\u201d If you say that you want your people to have space to process, reflect, and grow, do your actions and schedules mirror that intention? I work with leaders all over the world and am constantly hearing about their jam-packed schedules, which often bleed into the evenings and weekends. They have a desperate desire to get a grip on their day-to-day flow but think that it comes with the territory of being a leader.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>We often give our power over to what other people want from us instead of setting boundaries that help us ensure that we\u2019re not constantly in a state of feeling overwhelmed.<\/h4>\n<p>As I\u2019ve said before, the best thing any leader can do is to model the behavior they want to see in others. You want your team to be less stressed? Then show them what a schedule looks like for someone who isn\u2019t constantly overwhelmed and who puts a stake in the ground with their boundaries. These can be simple adjustments or more complex analysis. You get to choose.<\/p>\n<h5>Here are some examples of schedule policies that I\u2019ve created around our value of inner harmony:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>No external meetings on Mondays and Fridays.<\/li>\n<li>No more than three external meetings a day Tuesday through Thursday (a maximum of nine meetings per week).<\/li>\n<li>Determine a quitting time every day, and don\u2019t work afterward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I did this exercise with eight unique value statements, descriptions, and associated policies. I\u2019ve blocked these out in my calendar and put reminders where I would most easily slip up. For example, on Mondays and Fridays, my schedule reads, \u201cPROTECTED: Value Policy.\u201d I\u2019ve caught myself trying to sneak in an appointment on one of those days. Then that block shows up, and because of the language I used, it stops me in my tracks. If I had written \u201cHold\u201d or \u201cDo not book,\u201d it wouldn\u2019t have carried an ounce of the power that these words do for me. It also helps that my administrative assistant knows to never offer those days up for external meetings when she\u2019s scheduling appointments.<\/p>\n<p>If you wanted to take a more analytical approach, try color-coding your meetings. Start by thinking about the categories or types of meetings that you have on a regular basis and the percentage of your time that you want to dedicate to that category. Consider how that category relates to your core values. Then choose a color that represents those different types of meetings and begin to make a connection like the following:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22166 \" src=\"https:\/\/sunneez.com\/sparkvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/brave_2022-09-14_01-22-41.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"348\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, I also added the value that was connected to that category of meetings. Looking at this list, would it feel in alignment with your intentions to have 55 percent of your time spent on growth and 45 percent of your time spent on loyalty?\u00a0 You get to decide and adjust your choices in how you invest your time accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Go through your schedule with your own color-coding system and update the meeting appointment colors. Finally, see if your intended percentages are an actual reflection of the time you\u2019re spending on these items in reality.<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019re out of alignment, start to time block your days and weeks to support your process to get back in sync. Perhaps you want to block entire days or weeks to certain aspects of work? When you time block your schedule to prioritize your values and those correlated actions, your life will change and you\u2019ll give others permission to do the same.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make your out-of-office response human.<\/strong> I know that out-of-office messages can seem inconsequential, but every message we send (automated or handwritten) is an opportunity to ignite connection through our shared humanity. These autoresponders are created to set expectations and allow us to feel like we can step away without worry that someone may think we\u2019re ignoring them. They are useful and necessary when it comes to workflow and boundaries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next time you have to alert people that you\u2019ll be unavailable, consider sharing what you\u2019re up to and how it activates your values. Instead of the classic \u201cSorry I missed you. I\u2019m out of the office until [date], with limited access to email. If you require immediate assistance, please email [&#8230;],\u201d consider your version of an authentic approach.<\/p>\n<p>Mine often reads like this: \u201cThank you for reaching out. I\u2019m currently on retreat in the mountains of Idaho. I will be disconnected from technology to reconnect with my humanity over the next ten days. My values of reflection, unity with nature, and growth will be in full force. I hope you\u2019re able to prioritize your values as a tool for well-being too.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Set realistic deadlines.<\/strong> Are your deadlines serving or hurting your team? A new CEO told me that she couldn\u2019t believe what the people in her company had been doing to themselves before she took over. There were deadlines that were created for vanity metrics instead of for the capacity and ability of the team. Decades of these practices had led to the buildup and breakdown of mental health for her team members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So many companies have massive year-end deadline processes. They ignite unnecessary levels of pressure and stress because they have come to believe that they\u2019ll all turn into a pumpkin on midnight in the new year. All kidding aside, there are some legal reasons that you may need to do certain things before year-end;\u00a0 however, you likely don\u2019t have to do everything at that same time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Develop a values-aligned strategic plan. <\/strong>So many teams go through an extensive strategic planning process every few years. And those very teams often miss the opportunity to incorporate their plans through the lens of their values. Whether you hire a consultant or make these plans internally, be sure that you start by reviewing your values and value promises so that they function as your compass and guardrails for your future plans and intentions. It can be as significant as entire initiatives based on your values, or it could simply be a callout box that highlights the values that are tied to the plans. As with the values filter questions from chapter 7, this is a perfect time to harness your values for genuine alignment as you build toward the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know your systems.<\/strong> The most common systems include payroll, personnel, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory. Here are some general questions to ask yourself when looking at the effectiveness of your systems:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we reduce the steps in this process?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we combine steps to make the process simpler to follow?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 Can we repurpose an existing system or tool to save us time or give us a better result?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we speed up this process or any step within this process?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we automate this process (or any part of this process)?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we semiautomate this process (or any part of this process)?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we template this process (or any part of this process)?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can we lower the costs of completing this process without affecting the value of the output?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 What simple changes or improvements can we make to increase the value of the output?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 Who else in the world has a related process or tool that we can learn from to help us better design this process?<sub>48<\/sub><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2013 How can this process more effectively align with our values?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review operational processes.<\/strong> A business or operational process is an organized set of activities or tasks that produces a specific service or product. The process of providing a haircut, for example, often has three main parts: first hair washing, then the actual cutting, and finally styling with a brush and hair dryer. These processes are directly tied to how you generate income. So doesn\u2019t that make them valuable?<sub>49<\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When looking at your operations through your values lens, consider if they are a true reflection or a nice idea that didn\u2019t quite land. Let\u2019s use the example of the hair salon and the values of collaboration, connection, and beauty. As you walk through the process of how someone gets their hair washed, does the customer experience collaboration, connection, and beauty? Perhaps another team member takes on this piece of the work with collaboration. Perhaps the conversation during the wash or even just asking whether the temperature is OK creates connection. Maybe the customer is treated with such kindness and support that they feel beautiful already.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty simple. But the idea of updating and tweaking your processes by going on the customer\u2019s journey will support your values and can run pretty deep. Asking your customers for feedback is an incredible way to amp up these processes too. Be direct. Ask, \u201cHow did you experience our values of connection, collaboration, and beauty? What\u2019s one thing that we could do differently to better infuse our values into your experience here?\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Review support processes.<\/strong> Aptly named, these are any systems that support the operational processes. This could include HR, financial management, building and property management, IT, security, corporate governance, quality management, and more. Using the salon example again, you might think about the processes around how to schedule an appointment, how you pay your bills, and whether the building itself is clean and equipped with the tools necessary to follow through on your services with ease and grace. Using the same values lens as before, it would be a fascinating filter to ask: Do these processes reflect collaboration, connection, and beauty?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review management processes.<\/strong> The management process begins with the three basic elements of this work: ideas, things, and people. Management of these three elements is directly related to conceptual thinking (of which planning is an essential part), administration, and leadership.<sub>50<\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Much of this was covered in chapter 7; however, I would be remiss in not including it here, in terms of how managers go about creating and adhering to their processes. In many cases, there is not a standardized process in these areas, but they could benefit from the creation of one. Other times, there are processes that are a total waste of time and that need to come to an end, such as weekly activity reports that are never reviewed or data entry of tasks that are never tracked. How might your management processes better reflect your values?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Give permission to be human.<\/strong> Like culture, one system or process will not fit all. Recognize the nuances of leadership and learning styles, and try not to be too rigid. There is always opportunity to improve, so invite those possibilities in. It\u2019s worth saying again: Avoid using phrases like \u201cWe\u2019ve always done it that way\u201d or \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d These sayings shut down potential for innovation, connection, and a better way of solving problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Need help making your company run smoother?<\/p>\n<p>This was an excerpt from <a href=\"https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.com\/book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MaryBeth\u2019s book &#8211; Permission to Be Human: The Conscious Leaders Guide to Creating a Values-Driven Culture.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Learn more from this <a href=\"https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.com\/book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company culture book<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>48 David Finkel, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/david-finkel\/10-questions-to-ask-when-you-design-or-redesign-a-process.html\">10 Questions to Ask When You Design or Redesign a Process<\/a>,\u201d Inc., January 29, 2015<\/p>\n<p>49 Knowledge@Wharton High School, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/kwhs.wharton.upenn.edu\/term\/operational-process\/\">Operational Process<\/a>,\u201d University of Pennsylvania, February 28, 2011<\/p>\n<p>50 R.
