Let go of perfect.
What happens when an organization committed to improvement has to transform everything they do in 5 days? People let go of being perfect and rely on their relationships, values, and communication to achieve results. Joining Janet today are three leaders from the School District of Menomonee Falls; Casey Blochowiak, Tina Posnanski, and Sue Lee. Listen as they share how their team has remained agile, aligned, and committed to SDMF’s values, from the district, school, and classroom perspective.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- Why is it important to create a culture of problem-solvers?
- What can leaders do to empower people to overcome barriers?
- How can teams stay committed to accountability during disruption?
- What is the first step towards improvement?

9P| LISTENING TO CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Brands that have a reputation for delivering an exceptional customer experience are continuously looking for opportunities to better understand that experience and anticipate their customer’s needs. Listening to customers and involving them in brand decisions allows an organization to gain a different perspective about the experience and uncover valuable blind spots and gaps.
9P | ORGANIZATIONAL FEEDBACK LOOP
9P | IMPROVEMENT AND INNOVATION
When a team awakens to the real meaning and practice of a continuous improvement approach to make lasting change, team members begin to think about improvement possibilities differently. Getting away from initiative-centered thinking can be a challenge for organizations that may be accustomed to jumping from one episodic and silver bullet promise to the next.
9P | SET ALIGNED GOALS
High-performing organizations have a system for setting goals. More important, high performing leaders are systematic in how they reach the goals they set. High performing leaders know they must rely on employees to help the organization achieve its goals.
