If you’re hiring consultants to advance your business, then great, but if you’re hiring them because you’re unsure about the Intel you’re receiving from C-level staff and others, then, “Houston we have a problem”.
At the core of inaccurate communication is FEAR. My friend John Johnson once said that fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Through the years I’ve tested his theory and found it true. One of the wisest men to have ever lived outlined the solution to fear when he wrote:
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:18
So, what does driving out fear look like in the work place? I recently sat down with one of the most successful home builders in America who is also the founder of Kingdom at Work, Rick Betenbough. Rick is a pioneer in driving out fear in perfect love and he does it through weekly One-on-One meetings aka (10:10 meetings found in the Culture Strong Planner). I think that if you were to ask him what the most important meetings of the week are he would say, hands down, it’s our One-on-One meetings.
To successfully conduct 10:10 meetings, you will need to understand the “Why” behind such meetings. To my knowledge, no one gets the “why” better than Cal Zant, president of Betenbough Homes. Watch Cal Zant’s recent keynote at a Kingdom at Work workshop.
