I shared with you how important a βquick startβ is every day.
The second part of a βquick startβ is focusing on having a βgreat first hour.β
There is nothing worse than having a balky start with inconsistent results in the first hour. Once you get behind, it is difficult to make up ground. A bad first hour will cause a variety of things: unplanned overtime, multiple changeovers, a bad climate fueled by pressure and frustration.
A great first hour occurs when everybody on the team makes it her intention to attack the dayβs tasks with enthusiasm and urgency. Intention is the key word. Too many days start wrong because urgency, enthusiasm and intention are substituted with lackadaisical purposelessness.
How did you start the day? Did you have a great βfirst hourβ? Was your team united in committing to achieve great results? Was everything in place? Did you have your mind right?
