In this podcast episode, Shandel and Melanie the important but often overlooked "prune" stage of the growth process. They explain why pruning is necessary for long-term sustainable growth and share tools and strategies for effectively pruning at both the individual and organizational levels. Listeners will learn a framework for effectively navigating this stage of growth through asking questions, collaborating with others, and carefully trimming areas that are no longer serving long-term goals.
The episode provides a framework for thoughtfully navigating the prune stage through collaboration and trimming non-essential things to focus on long-term sustainable growth. Pruning involves removing things that served you in the past but may now be hindering momentum. It allows for working smarter with less effort. Collaboration and communication are vital. Involving teams and being a good listener helps facilitate change and avoids losing trust. Leaders should ask questions like "Why are we doing this?" and recognize they don't have all the answers. Delegating effectively and learning what can be pruned frees up time and space. Individuals can prune habits, set new goals, and optimize processes during downtimes. Even good things may need pruning to make room for new priorities as circumstances change over time.
