Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• By the time I hear someone on my team was blocked, it’s already festered into a real problem
• Our weekly leadership meeting is just a round-robin of status updates where everyone reports and nobody actually decides anything
• I walk in with my list of things to check on and immediately steer the whole hour into my project review
• I start strong and then it just quietly fizzles when nothing’s pulling on me
• When it’s just a promise to myself I let it slide without a second thought, but the moment I have to say out loud to someone else what I’ll get done and then report back, suddenly I actually follow through.
