They say the best laid plans can often go awry unless those making the plan are intentional and put their ideas in writing. Lencioni shares our sample family’s action plan.
That family listed two key themes:
1. What makes our family unique? (faith-based, passionate about all we do, and we do it together)
2. What is most important priority for us right now? (spending peaceful alone time together)
TO DO THIS ACTION PLAN, THEY WILL FOLLOW THE 5 STEPS LISTED LAST WEEK WHICH FOCUS ON PUTTING FAMILY BEFORE ALL ELSE.
Regular responsibilities like maintaining health, finances and a strong marriage will also be a priority.
KEEPING ALL THIS ALIVE WILL REQUIRE:
1. Weekly meeting to touch base on progress.
2. Write our goals on a white board and prominently display it in the kitchen for a daily reminder.
I can’t stress enough how important these last two are if a family wishes to maintain long-term success.
Next week let’s discuss making this work during a stressful time like remodeling and then sharing our goals with others.
