Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep staring at the big result hoping it moves, but it’s out of my hands day to day
- What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
- We keep piling new initiatives on top of old ones we’ve outgrown but never stopped, so the team is overloaded and there’s no room to start anything fresh
- My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid
- Every day the urgent fires of just running things swallow my whole calendar, and the important goal I actually care about never gets touched because there’s always something screaming louder than it.
