What Is It You Want from Management?

  • or your project?
  • Would you ask for an ongoing conversation with this executive about quality?

Giving Voice to Your Imaginings
Now that you've privately experimented, can you imagine using the results of this experiment publicly with your group or key team members? Maybe it would be interesting to see how others would play out that imagined conversation. You may even find yourself having that conversation with your executive.

I wonder what we can learn from our experiments? If you're willing, please share your imaginings as Reader Comments following this column. If this seems too risky, silly, or a waste of time to you, then it probably is. But you might learn that others have the same wild and crazy imaginings that you have. Maybe some have even played out their imaginings and will share what worked and didn't work.

I look forward to reading your ideas. Maybe backing each other here on StickyMinds will help us get and give more solid executive backing.
