Observation, Analysis, & Change

CONSTRUCTION  STAGE  4:  MAINTENANCE and UPGRADES

CONSTRUCTION  STAGE  4:  OBSERVATION, ANALYSIS, and CHANGE

Once you have completed the Pre-Construction phase (Planning & Preparation), laid the Foundation (Developed an Integrity-Based Character), and built the Superstructure (Taken Action), it's now time to consider Maintaining and Upgrading your property (Observation, Analysis, and Change). 

This STAGE involves SIX (6) steps.  

CONSTRUCTION  STAGE  4:  MAINTENANCE and UPGRADES

• Security
• Structural reviews, safety checks, and quality controls
• Maintenance
• Blueprints review
• Inventory and change recommendations
• Replacements, renovations, and upgrades

The SIX (6) metaphorical analogues in the SAL MODEL are as follows:

SAL  MODEL  STAGE  4:  OBSERVATION, ANALYSIS, and CHANGE

• Self-Observation (1)
• Self-Analysis
• Self-Renewal
• Purpose Examination
• External Feedback
• Self-Alterations

In Your Journal

• Now that you are into the last quarter of the SAL Model, what are some of your thoughts and reflections about its purpose, meaning, and potential application in your life, career, and relationships?

• Who is someone you work with, live with, or otherwise care about who could benefit from the principles and practices of the SAL Model?  Invite that person to embark on the SAL Master Challenge and journal about your experience extending the invitation.
