Growth Leadership: Workplace Innovation Programme

 

As we embark on this final stretch, it’s time to consolidate the insights and skills you’ve acquired over the past eight months, including the valuable lessons from your executive coaching sessions. 

 

This marks a pivotal moment in your leadership journey, where we will collaboratively craft a bespoke 12-month Leadership and Personal Development Programme tailored just for you. We aim to provide unwavering support as you continue to evolve and grow.

 

A Start-Stop-Continue (SSC) plan is a simple yet effective framework for personal development, team improvement, or organisational change. It’s often used in businesses, personal coaching, and various educational settings to help individuals or teams identify actions to improve performance and achieve their goals. 

 

In the SSC model, ‘Start’ represents new, beneficial actions or behaviours that should be initiated. ‘Stop’ involves identifying and ceasing detrimental activities. ‘Continue’ is about acknowledging and maintaining what’s already working well.

 

Primarily used as a personal feedback or self-reflection process, SSC fosters reflective thinking, encourages constructive feedback, and nurtures a continuous improvement mindset. It breaks down complex challenges into manageable parts, enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of actions.

 

This framework is vital to leadership development and management growth for several reasons. It encourages self-awareness as individuals learn how their habits impact performance and relationships. SSC instils an improvement mindset, implying there’s always room to grow. Providing clear, actionable feedback aids in devising improvement plans. It makes feedback more acceptable, promoting its implementation. It simplifies problems, facilitating easy identification of areas of change.

 

Regarding leadership development, SSC can guide leaders in distinguishing which behaviours they need to initiate, halt, or maintain, fostering the emergence of more effective, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent leaders.

 

 

 

Here’s what each term in the SSC plan refers to:

 

 

Start:

These are the actions or behaviours an individual or team should start doing. They are typically new habits, practices, or initiatives that enhance performance or progress towards the set objectives.

 

 

Stop:

These are the activities or behaviours that are unproductive, harmful, or act as a barrier to success. The “Stop” part of the plan is all about identifying these detrimental factors and making a concerted effort to cease these actions.

 

 

Continue:

This part of the plan identifies the things already being done well and contributing positively to progress or performance. They are actions or behaviours that should be sustained and built upon for continued success.
