Going back through extreme creativity content for a Brainzooming workshop prompted a new look at Peter's' Laws. We used these sometimes way over-the-top laws in developing our first set of extreme creativity questions.
Then, after a conversation about how a leader can develop and implement a strategic initiative without letting everyone KNOW a strategic initiative is underway, it prompted spelling out The Weasel Principles of Getting Things Done.
The name is a bit of a misnomer. It springs from a college nickname relating to someone's ability to maneuver into and out of difficult situations in the pursuit of getting things done with no apparent political or social harm to the maneuvering. In other words, it’s about carrying out project management techniques that are vital to getting things done when things REALLY need to get done.
This list will likely grow over time, but here’s a first version of The Weasel Principles of Getting Things Done, just to get you thinking and talking!
