YOUR SEVEN-DAY FOLLOW-THROUGH PLAN weneedleadership.com 01. Listen before deciding What would make this week a little easier? Day 1: Ask someone at home. Let them finish. Repeat back what you heard before suggesting a solution. Keep their answer private. 02. Pick a promise you control What can you reliably do in fifteen minutes? Day 2: Choose one action you can actually carry out: handle a recurring chore, put away your phone for a conversation, or prepare tomorrow’s shared task. Avoid promising how someone else will feel. 03. Make the next step visible When and where will you follow through? Days 3–5: Attach your action to an existing moment. “After dinner, I will clear the kitchen.” If you miss it, name what happened and make a smaller, specific plan. 04. Repair without excuses Is there something you need to put right? Day 6: If you let someone down, acknowledge the specific action and its effect. Ask what repair would help. Let the other person respond in their own time. 05. Ask what helped What should you keep, change, or stop? Day 7: Ask for feedback without arguing with it. Keep one useful habit for another week. Leadership is not a perfect streak; it is taking responsibility for your next action. Designed for adults. Invite participation, respect a “no,” and do not use the exercise to pressure others or score their behavior. Keep written reflections private. More resources: https://weneedleadership.com/
