NOTES AND ACTIONS
(1) On a separate sheet of paper list the critical knowledge and skill areas which are needed to achieve your goals and create innovative health solutions. Put that aside. (2) Fill out columns a and b (listing the individuals with whom you interact and the groups in which you participate). Examples of “Relationship” would be: friend, colleague, mentor, manager, etc. Assess columns c through h in terms of a strength scale from 1-10, with 1 being weak and 10 being strong. “Your Feelings” would be rated in terms of respect, trustworthiness and ability to interact. “Contribution” refers to the level or value of knowledge you contribute to the relationship. Positive learning relationships would be those rated above the mid point (5). Under “NOTES AND ACTIONS” write anything you think may be important to the relationship; for example, “Need to interact more often.” (3) From this simple chart, assess your gaps, that is, circle any number less than 5, and—comparing with your list of knowledge and skill areas—determine the relationships that need to be expanded or relationships that need to be added. For example, if your numbers are low and a specific individual or team is important to accomplishing your goals, then actions must be taken to build/expand that relationship and increase the assessment numbers. (Refer to the RNM key success factors.) Add the action you plan to take under “NOTES AND ACTIONS”.
