In the last lesson you were asked to demonstrate your skill in PTO. Now check if you were able to PTO as instructed.
The orange you were asked to peel was:
Resolve the PTO paradox in 111 words.
The most important instruction for you to follow in this PTO was the specification of 111 words. You were not to know that, of course. In PTO one never really knows because one doesn’t get the opportunity to discuss things, as one does in normal situations.
One of the benefits of PTO, provided you have a skilled leadership team, is that anyone in the team can give anyone else in the team a PTO and it is done without question or discussion. This has advantages of speed, efficiency and effectiveness when the team is striving for a mutual objective. But it is not easy and does take PRR to produce a high level of PTO skill.
Obviously, so early in a leadership training sequence, one is not expected to get the ‘right’ answer as much as one is expected to just try and practise the skills.
DFQ #15:
What is the biggest insight about PTO that you have had so far as you’ve been doing these past few lessons?
Oops I missed the PTO111 email or question somehow.
DFQ#15 I’m more productive following my own leadership if that makes sense. No more excuses. Just peel the damn orange. 🙂
listen to specific instructions
i missed the 111 completely, it reminds me of a sheet i once completed which the first line said ‘read to the bottom before writing the answers to the following questions’ and the last line said ‘dont do any writing, just turn the page’ but of course everyone started completing the page.
It is not 111 words that is important; what is important is the INSTRUCTION that says that it MUST be described 111 words; it could be even 222 words, why not !! We do no waste our time every time we are instructed to evaluate the merit of instruction or reconsider the authority of leadership.
The insight that I have got is : once we have agreed and set in place a system; we follow PTO and also at the same we must keep another system in place to have a feedback to compare our result through PTO to understand whether we are on track or not.
To put it simply, there should be PTO and feedback process to monitor our progress.
yes I have not PTOed it properly as I missed ‘in’111 words for ‘within’ 111 words.
I learnt two important lessons: one, that in real life situations there are PTO occassions when you have to do things instantly, on your own, without questioning. and second, PRR makes one confident to handle PTO.
I guess for me it is the PRR technique to ensure that I can deliver effective communication via PTO.
I missed the 111 words although felt it was important I considered that what I had to say I could say in less. More PRR hey!
Well, I did pick up on the 111, but was five words short, so not a good enough effort – should have practised more on that.
The biggest insight I have gained is that PTO is a good leadership skill for use in certain circumstances, so leadership skills have to fit the occasion
I’m going to get a lot further with self-training if I follow the proven recipes first – and then go my own way, knowing the effects I can create.
I completely ignored the 111 word instruction – oops….Will try to be more attentive through the remainder of the course.
when we stop lying to ourselves.when we start functioning as one world.
one family.get back to nature’s way, live sustainably, stop the war on humans,
and nature and other species, when we nourish our childrens body, mind
and soul give them our tools and skills, allow them to flower in their own
creativity within one generation this PTO i want to do.
in my team everybody have their PTO ,their own expertise whens/ he is the leader of task i will follow commands.no questions asked.
do we we have time for PRR. and what kind of PRR that could be.
