The coach asked Kelly about workplace goals and timelines. The coach asked Kelly to identify efficiencies and time wasters. The coach asked Kelly how staff would identify efficiencies and time wasters, and Kelly believed the staff would describe them differently. The coach asked Kelly the pros and cons of using time in areas different staff find useful. Kelly decided to have the staff manage their timeline for a project to see how it works. Initially people on the staff were unsure of this new freedom; with time they accepted it and outlined their process. During this process Kelly and the coach debriefed, brainstormed, and planned. Kelly discovered the new approach worked in a different way and now continues to flex to different styles to get results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
