THE LIFT PROCESS™
LEARN
Research, Experience, Best Practices, Models
The journey begins with understanding—gathering knowledge through research, personal experiences, and proven models. In this phase, actively seek out insights from experts, peer reviews, and real-world examples that align with your leadership goals. Acknowledge that learning is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Whether it’s reading articles, attending workshops, or engaging with thought leaders, immerse yourself in continuous learning to sharpen your skills.
Action: Set aside dedicated time for learning each week—whether through books, podcasts, or discussions with mentors. Equip yourself with diverse perspectives and keep an open mind for new insights.
IMPLEMENT
Apply The Learning
Implementation is where theory turns into action. It’s about putting the knowledge you’ve gained into practice and testing ideas in real-world settings. Begin by setting clear, measurable objectives for how you will integrate your learning into your team or organizational processes. This phase challenges you to move beyond abstract understanding and make an impact.
Action: Take one key learning point from your research and create an actionable plan to apply it within a set timeframe. Break it down into small, achievable steps and start testing it in low-risk environments.
FINE-TUNE
Get Feedback and Make Adjustments
As you implement, don’t forget the critical step of refining and improving. Fine-tuning is about seeking feedback, reflecting on outcomes, and making adjustments as needed. Constant feedback loops from your team, peers, or external consultants can provide the clarity you need to optimize your strategy. Evaluate what’s working, what’s not, and make those necessary tweaks to drive continuous improvement.
Action: Schedule regular check-ins with your team to discuss progress and gather constructive feedback. Identify areas where you can make improvements and don’t hesitate to pivot if something isn’t yielding the desired results.
TRACK
Monitor Key Results
Tracking is about measuring your progress to ensure you’re on the right path. In this stage, create a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the impact of the changes you’ve implemented. This ensures that all the effort invested is generating meaningful outcomes and allows you to adjust strategy if necessary. Acknowledge milestones as you track progress to keep morale high and stay focused on the long-term goals.
Action: Use tools like dashboards or regular reports to monitor KPIs. Make tracking a habit, not an afterthought. Regularly assess and celebrate your achievements, but stay alert for areas that need further attention.
