- Work streams should always be ranked, so there is no ambiguity about priorities. If everything is important, nothing is important.
- Attempt to limit concurrent work streams, encourage engagement and ownership.
- Nuanced communication does not scale. Keep your messaging simple and consistent.
- Focus on ensuring initiatives are completed once they're started. They can easily get lost in the churn, which can lead to a significant amount of time being lost without you noticing.
- Your teams should work at ~80% of their capacity. Although this may initially appear less efficient than keeping them at 100% capacity, it's not. It allows teams to adapt to unforeseen circumstances much more easily, promotes creativity and innovation, as well as prevents burnout.
