My goal is to respond to your request as quickly as I can


When I do, I have the best chance of interacting with you while you are focused on the request at hand


I want to be useful to you right now, because I will receive value in return


But it’s highly unsatisfying and unlikely to generate a loyal following (of humans)

This is the Responsive

Method


Interactions with urgency are what propel people and organizations forward



Historically, organizational structures and hierarchy defined how people worked


This allowed managers to apply experience and ensure consistency


But, sacrificed the free-flow of information, creativity, and meaningful contributions …


… and inserted delays and inefficiency into how communications happened



We have entered anew era


Where those who respond quickly will be most rewarded — no matter their title or role


But it’s highly unsatisfying and unlikely to generate a loyal following (of humans)Speed and

adaptability are required to engage



Velocity plus four key skills are at the core of

The Responsive Method


1. Interrupt driven


Most people are taught to try to tune out distractions rather than being open to them…



… but, someone needs something from you right now


2. Goal first


A “goal first” approach is about defining your vision



If you do not have a vision, you don’t know which interrupts need your real attention



3. Yay or nay now


Respond to requests as quickly as they come in—you can not afford to keep revisiting them


Don’t be afraid to graciously say “Nay” when a request is not in line with your future



4. Be Transparent


Allow someone to peek inside to understand why you responded the way you did


Explaining the why makes the what simple to digest


Compressed response time = accelerated value + satisfaction for everyone


Accelerate your personal and business growth and the value you ultimately create
