Success in slices

Who doesn't want to succeed?

That in the shortest possible way, if possible.

Shortcuts are always welcome.

But they usually do not exist.

Often it is work.

Work to acquire a new skill.

Work to perfect the skill.

Work to convince others of your own ideas.

Often this all happens in slices. Step by step.

You want to convince a colleague of one?

Do it one slice at a time. The first, for example, is to say that you want to do some research on topic X and ask what he or she thinks about it. That way, you can get others' opinions early on and base further communication on them. You've set an anchor that you can refer back to. If you're lucky, the idea fits a problem and the colleague picks it up on his or her own.

As a leader, you want to make changes?

Do it one slice at a time. Change brings uncertainty. Say you are going by a process. The first step, is to get opinions and questions from stakeholders. Change may not taste so good, but the chunks to swallow are not so big and provide some direction. Also in communication.

Slice by slice usually works
