In the world we live in now, it is important to have a clear plan for teaching to work. That is where The The Next Element™ in. Diagnose, Design, Deliver, Defend and Develop are the five easy steps, that make up this teaching system, from start to finish. Coaches and leaders can help people, and teams grow in a clear and organized way, by following these steps. This way of teaching is easy, works and is focused on getting real results. It shows you how to solve problems and build long-term success.
Diagnose is the first thing that you do in The Next ElementTM. This means taking a close look at what is happening now to figure out what is working and what is not. To be a good teacher, you need to ask questions, and gather knowledge. This helps figure out why problems happen, whether they are with leadership, working as a team or business processes. Coaches can focus on the right places to improve, when they have a clear diagnosis.
After identifying, design comes, next. In this step, you make a clear plan for how to fix the issues that you have found. During the planning stage, you set goals, and choose the steps that will help you to reach them. Coaches help people, or groups come up with useful steps, that meet their goals. It’s a simple idea that aims to bring about real changes. Making sure that everyone knows, what needs to be done at this stage, builds a strong base for the teaching process.
Deliver is the next step, after the plan is ready. Now, this is where teaching really works. Coaches help people stick to the plan, and make changes at work, or in how they act. Training, reviews and inspiration are all parts of delivery. It helps people keep going and deal with problems that come up along the way. It is important to do this step because good ideas only work if they are carried out correctly.
The next step is to defend. In this step, we need to keep the progress we have made so far safe. Changes often fall away, if they aren’t kept up over time. When you defend, you have to form habits, practice new skills and deal with any issues that arise. Coaches make sure that people and teams keep making progress, by checking in often, and changing the way things are done, if necessary. In this step, you make sure that the success doesn’t just happen, once.
Build is the last step of The Next Element™. There is a lot of room for growth, and learning here. Coaching pushes people to keep getting better, and hit new heights, even after their initial goals are met. The main goals of development are to learn new skills, become a better boss and get ready for new tasks. Coaches encourage people, and groups to think about the big picture, not just the short term.
Self-reflection and feedback are also parts of development. They are important for learning. With this step, teaching becomes a way, to keep getting better. With The Next Element™, growth is normal, and constant. It makes you stronger and ready for the next step in your work or personal growth.
