Basic Template Coaching Tips

• When you are creating your plan with a team and
  with your partners, make sure that you do not
  show them a completed game plan immediately. It
  requires some explanation of goals, measures,
  strategies and tactics first. See Chapter Two of
  Manage Your World on ONE PAGE.
• Start by showing your ideas for goals, leaving
  the rest of the template blank, then get their
  ideas for goals and measures and incorporate.
  Then let the process of completion continue from
  there with you completing the plan in real time
  with their involvement.
• Try to get your measures done before moving on to
  strategies. The analysis pays off enormously in
  the long run. See Chapter Three.
• Remember that this is a living document which you
  will use at your team meetings. It helps to
  appoint a team member to be the owner of the
  latest version and do some of the real-time
  updating.
• You dont have to insert all the tactics. The
  first few in the sequence is sufficient. More
  will arise as these few get completed.
• Use the 1-Pager to set the agenda for your
  management meetings. It maintains alignment.
• The next slide is the Template, read the
  suggestions as you complete it.
• We want you to use and share this template
  freely. As you adapt it, we ask you to email your
  1-Pager, Dashboard, and other useful items so we
  can add them to our open library at 1-Paging.com.
  Please make them appropriately anonymous!.
