Disclaimer: This tool shares educational micro-habit ideas based on the Traits4XL framework. Practice them under the guidance of a certified Traits4XL coach and ensure that any change, especially in safety-critical areas, is reviewed by your organisation’s experts.

What problem keeps coming back in your factory or business?

Choose one challenge to design a micro-habit plan around it.

Tip: Start with the problem that hurts you most this quarter.

Step 2 of 6 · Choose Problem

Disclaimer: Use these ideas as conversation starters, not prescriptions. Work with a Traits4XL coach to adapt them to your context before implementation.

Under this problem, which behaviour do you want to strengthen first?

Pick one trait to focus on for your first 7-day experiment.

You can always come back and choose another behaviour later.

Step 3 of 6 · Choose Behaviour

Disclaimer: Behaviour change should be supported by competent leadership and HR guidance. A Traits4XL coach can help you interpret results and avoid misuse.

Give your team a simple language for this behaviour.

Use these short lines in huddles, posters, and WhatsApp messages to make the behaviour memorable.

Leaders don’t need long speeches – just repeat one or two lines consistently.

Step 4 of 6 · Choose Language

Disclaimer: Metaphors are illustrative; adapt wording to your culture and language with support from a Traits4XL coach.

Turn this into a simple weekly micro-habit.

Choose one small Tool, one Routine, and one Culture cue to try with your team for 7 days.

Daily Routine Repeat

Culture Cue Sustain

Less is more. One disciplined micro-habit beats ten posters.

Step 5 of 6 · Choose Habit Elements

Disclaimer: Before changing routines, check alignment with company policies and safety norms. Treat this as a coaching aid, not a replacement for formal procedures.
