As leaders, our role is to provide clear guidance to our people so that they can do their job better. If our guidance hinders their work, we are not doing our job as leaders well.
When I give guidance to me team, I often use DR. GRAC to provide clear guidance for them to do their job better. DR. GRAC is the acronym for...
DR. = Desired Results (What I hope to achieve, my objective (s))
G = Guidelines my team should follow.
R = Resources available for them to get the job done well. Sometimes, I am their key resource to clear obstacles so that they can get the job done.
A = Accountability. How they should keep me posted. How often I want progress updates. Who is accountable or responsible for this piece of work?
C = Consequences. The positive or negative consequences if they get the job done well or not done. How can this piece of work be linked to the bigger picture (if relevant)?
That's my leadership sharing this week. Cheers!
P/S: DRGRAC is not my idea/concept. I learnt this from Dr. Covey's 7 habits of Highly Effective People. You can also use DRGRAC for your planning work as well.
