3Q Check-ins
Q :: Can I use 3Q in my personal life?
Probably … maybe….
We don’t recommend giving friends and family the impression you think they somehow report to you, as this is an almost surefire way to produce turnover.
But, with that warning sticker in plain view, more than a few 3Q Managers and participants report that the questions, and the spirit that animates the questions, seems to leak naturally into interactions with people they care about … not because they want to manage those people — heaven forbid — but because it becomes natural to really mean it, and really listen, when they ask:
• "How are you doing?"
• "How are we doing" (which really means, "How do you think and feel I'm doing with pulling my weight in this relationship?")
• "How can I help?"
Circling back around to the warning sticker, no one wants to feel like a project, and this really must not be used in an attempt to manipulate people you love. If your 3Q Check-in experience produces a genuine and respectful spirit of tangible care for those you care for ... and if they accept it as such … then, cool!
