𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥

🤔𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 (?):

1. Lead projects successfully?
2. Explain an Idea to a large Audience?
3. Report to leadership?
etc…

I get asked this question a lot and in many different ways. Many say, “It starts and ends with people,” and that’s absolutely true. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧.

For me, it all comes down to the 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥: 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲.

🔄 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: It’s not enough to have great people, you need to make sure everyone’s efforts are aligned with the overarching goals. Whether it’s a complex automation initiative or a strategic shift, 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

💬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: People perform at their best when they know exactly what’s expected of them. That’s why clarity is non-negotiable. Clear roles, clear responsibilities, clear goals. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝-𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

🔍 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Trust is the foundation of any successful project, and transparency is how you build it. Open communication, visibility into decisions, and progress, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

So, when I’m asked how I lead projects, do this or that, and even teach subjects to my children. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫: First I get my ACT together, and then I focus on Alignment, Clarity, and Transparency. That’s my HOW. The outcome? A team that trusts each other, trusts the process and delivers success.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨𝐨.
