Tips for creating effective Actions

  1. Look for themes - Focus on repeated feedback or patterns that point to broader opportunities or issues.
  2. Keep Actions clear and achievable - Each Action should be realistic, focused, and achievable within a reasonable timeframe.
  3. Stay true to the feedback - When creating Actions from comments, preserve the original intent. You can refine wording, but avoid losing the meaning of the feedback.
  4. Follow up with your team - If an Action leads to change or improvement, share the outcome. This helps close the feedback loop and encourages ongoing participation.
  5. Link Actions to Metrics - Where possible, connect Actions to relevant team Metrics. If no specific Metric applies, use the “General” category.
  6. Share ownership - Avoid ownership sitting with leaders alone. Distribute Actions across the team to build accountability and engagement.
  7. Review Actions regularly - Start team meetings by reviewing current Actions:
    1. Update progress
    2. Adjust due dates
    3. Mark completed items
    4. Identify blockers
