If you are old enough, you may remember a game called 20 Questions. Here’s how it works. One person plays the role of the answerer who thinks of an object. The other players are the questioners and get to ask 20 questions to guess what that object is. The questioner who guesses what the object is wins. If no one can guess what the object is after 20 questions the answerer wins.
The game has been around since the 19th century, but I decided to create a variation of it that has a practical application for the 21st century workplace. We’ll call it 20 Questions for 2020. Here we go:
The author of these thought-provoking questions is Ann Marie Boslin, a business development consultant with TTI Success Insights, a company we partner with to provide assessment solutions for our clients. The questions are designed to help maximize the return on investment (ROI) for the most important asset in any organization — people!
We (PurposeUnlimited.com)have discovered the one area that can earn the quickest ROI is clearly defining roles. We’ve developed an “Expectations” worksheet and a process that answers all 20 questions by clarifying existing roles, identifying roles that need to be created and those that need to be eliminated. The result is dramatically improved Productivity, Synergy and Morale for our clients.
Please email jim@purposeunlimited.com to request your free “Expectations” worksheet.
