Project stakeholders typed by animal characters

This farm animal metaphor for people in your organisation is a great way to have a discussion about attitudes and behaviours, and how they affect your project implementation success. I use this a lot in trainings related to change and improvement, so it's about time I shared it with you. So click the link and enjoy a light little video with a very useable message.
🐕 Meet the loyal shepherd dog who'll follow you in improving your organisation;
🐴 The strong work horse who is indispensable in project work;
🐑 A bunch of sheep, who just want things to be organised for them;
🐐 The stubborn goat, seemingly all against your project until you find their true values;
🐺 And the ever-hungry wolf, waiting to shred your project to bits just for the fun of it.

Hi Tom. I just want to say thank you for all the valuable content you put out for free, which allows people who are new to the CI profession, such as myself, to hone and develop our CI way of thinking

[@TomMentink]

Thank you for taking the time to share those kind words. That's exactly why I started this channel - I couldn't find a lot of good practical CI advice in video format, so it hit me that instead of feeling down about that, I should contribute my experience learn that way 😇
If you ever want to support the channel, and learn even more in the process, check out my online courses at www.tommentink.com. But you getting value from my content and making yourself and others more productive is the best form of gratitude. Wish you a great personal continuous improvement journey 😉
