Hattitudes Prepare Strategic Plan Team for Public Launch
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 11:17PM Last week I was working with a 29-person strategic planning team in Plano, Texas. They were two weeks out from rolling out the initiative and soliciting feedback as a part of a highly visible, major annual meeting. The meeting was devoted to nailing down lots of the details surrounding the presentations and small group decisions they were responsible for facilitating.
The anticipation and stress were almost palpable.
We started the meeting talking about all the roles they play and the importance of showing up to at this meeting with a "hattitude" that would help them be great ambassadors for the strategic plan team. Each person picked a hat from the One Hat At A Time deck and shared the hat and the why with the group as a whole.
There were several coach hats to keep the focus on everyone getting equipped to get in the game, several high-risk hats (cowboy, parachute, firefighter) that acknowledged the thrill, danger and risk in doing something new. Some chose the artist's beret as a reminder of the powerful force of co-creation. Still others chose astronaught/diving hats to emphasize the thrill and history-making opportunity that comes with exploration of new terrains.
The next time you show up to a big opportunity, choose your hattitude with intention!
