Thanks and congratulations to Dan and Kelly for their successful facilitation of the Focusing Four activity at our last staff meeting. My only regret from the activity was that I didn't take a moment to take any action shots. Next time.
The process allowed the different items to rise to the surface for the whole staff to see in a respectful, non-confrontational way. I look forward to reviewing the data and starting to plan for the possibilities next year. In the coming week I'll also work to communicate some thoughts on the results to the staff overall.
