Data + Coaching = Success

We know paying attention is key, but how do we make sure we are paying attention to the right thing?

Step 1. Figure out how we naturally pay attention

TAIS outlines three different ways we can pay attention. We all have one that we’re best at using and are most likely to default to, especially when the pressure is on.

Think of what channel or streaming service you like the best – could you sit and watch your favourite show for two hours straight? How about if you had to sit and watch the Weather Network?

The "channel", or attentional style, that we prefer to use feels like watching a marathon of our favourite sitcom – easy to pay attention to, does not drain us, and is comforting. Using the attentional style that we are lowest in feels more like paying attention to the Weather Network – we CAN do it, of course, but it's not something we can give our full attention to without considerable effort to block out distractions.

By knowing which attentional style each individual is drawn to, they can more easily set up their environment to support that, claim it confidently as a strength, and anticipate how much energy they’ll need to complete a task that requires that style. Knowing one’s least preferred style allows each person to strategically prepare for activities that require the use of that style.

This is at the core of what makes TAIS the best tool for top performers. By identifying our attentional strengths, we can harness the power of paying attention to the right thing at the right time.

Step 2. Learn how to identify what form of attention is needed

A lifeguard paying attention to the person right in front of them instead of the whole pool is a bad lifeguard. An accountant who is constantly trying to change the underlying systems instead of completing client files is a bad accountant. A leader who gets stuck on insignificant details is a bad leader. By identifying what is most likely to distract us, we can build habits to ensure we are paying attention to the right thing.

Sometimes our distractions come in the form of a busy environment, like Doug from the movie "Up" stopping mid conversation to alert to a squirrel. Sometimes our distractions feel more like overthinking, or ruminating over something unrelated to the task at hand.

Identifying our distractions helps us increase self-awareness, decrease shame around our blind spots, and point to where we can delegate or strategize to be more efficient. Understanding distractions and blind spots helps leaders create effective performance plans for their teams, and helps hiring teams choose someone whose attentional style is compatible with their environment.

A perhaps counterintuitive benefit of getting a clear picture of someone's distractions and blind spots is that it can lead to identifying high performance employees within your organization. Consider the accountant who is distracted by systems-thinking and failing to close cases with the level of accuracy needed for good client care. Perhaps this person is not a bad fit for the team, but a bad fit for their role. Systems thinking in an accountants role is not helpful, but systems thinking in a "leader of accountants" role is necessary.

Step 3. Learn how to choose how to pay attention and pay attention for long enough

Understanding our preferred attentional style and embracing our blind spots increases our self-awareness and helps us make choices for ourselves and our organization. TAIS goes a step further and provides a data-driven pathway to effectively and sustainably pay attention, even when we have to "watch the Weather Network."

By naming and understanding our strengths and tendencies, we can leverage this self-awareness to better plan and react to demands that we normally find boring, stressful, or exhausting.

If I am someone who loves to chat, is energized by the start of projects, gets bored easily, is competitive, thinks big picture, and is exhausted by detail-oriented work, I am not going to excel at tasks that require patience, isolation, and narrow focus. Without intervention, I will struggle with shame and procrastination until the impending due date forces me into action and the quality of my work may be less than what is required.

By understanding my TAIS data and data-driven strategic plan, I can adjust how I work in order to get my detail-oriented work done. Working in a cafe instead of in isolation satisfies my extroversion. Separating the monotonous work into sections allows me to have quick wins that satisfy my competitiveness and my love for starting new projects. Understanding how this task fits into the big picture allows me to rely on my strategic thinking to propel me into action.

It is still not sustainable for me to have a detail-oriented job, but I am more prepared to handle detail-oriented tasks as they inevitably come up.
