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

  • Our weekly leadership meeting is just a round-robin of status updates where everyone reports and nobody actually decides anything
  • People drop new "can you reprioritize this" requests on my team all week long and whoever asks loudest or latest wins
  • All our communication is ad-hoc
  • I walk in with my list of things to check on and immediately steer the whole hour into my project review
  • Every single one-on-one we only ever talk about this week’s deliverables, and we never once zoom out to where they’re headed
