BISPY w/ THE Kevin "KD" Dorsey

Topics

• Changing Results Through Metrics and Behaviors
• The BIPSY Framework
• Importance of Practice and Preparation
• Leadership Accountability and “Did I” Checklist
• Defining “What Good Looks Like” (WGLL)

Key Takeaways

• You can’t change results directly - focus on changing behaviors and metrics that lead to results
• The BIPSY framework (Behaviors, Individual Diagnosis, Process, Systems, You) provides a structured approach to improving performance
• Practice and preparation are critical but often neglected - skills must be practiced before customer interactions
• Accountability requires clear expectations, agreement, and follow-through from both leaders and team members
