Step 6 Watch The Game Films
The sixth in the 6-part series: Be Fearless; Step up and Play Big
On the path to discovering your real capabilities, you will no doubt experience some obstacles and bumps in the road which may lead to a “failure”. I believe when that happens, you have the opportunity to “recover”.
To maximize your capabilities you must go through recovery from a setback. You must experience it – it’s not something you can read about in a book. To leverage your recovery, you must do what I describe as “looking at the game films”. Every team does it, but the teams who constantly get better do it all the time and ask themselves these four questions based upon the following premise –
“If we had to play the game again, based upon what we learned from our past performance or experience what would we...”
- Start doing
- Stop doing
- Do more of, and
- Do less of
So people are reluctant of going through this diagnostic exercise out of fear of seeing what they did. They would like to put the entire episode behind them forever. By doing this they have pretty much guaranteed that they will make the same mistakes again and never elevate their game to a higher level.
