I would prioritize high-impact projects that deliver on two or more outcomes to maximize returns. Secondly, I would be supporting the team to effectively take on additional roles. To do this I would leverage interns, volunteers, and technology for non-critical work to allow paid team members to take up high-impact work. I would offer mentorship, training, and monitoring to boost performance and morale.

It’s time to make smarter choices that drive performance. You can reduce costs without sacrificing results, here’s how: Start by cutting back on non-essential expenses. Free up cash to channel into high-priority projects that directly impact your bottom line. Embrace technology, too. Tools that automate tasks will save time and money, boosting productivity. I’ve seen leaders turn tight budgets into strategic advantages simply by reallocating resources wisely. When you focus on what truly matters, success doesn’t depend on your budget size, it’s about your ability to adapt and optimize.
