📢 We’re currently working on the new weekly review feature and we need your help! The weekly review is one of the best ways to increase your productivity. Investing a little bit of time to plan your week ahead and learn from what happened this week can easily save you 5+ hours in the upcoming week. We understand that a weekly review is different for everyone, so we want to talk to people who already do a weekly review or those who want to start doing it. Do you have 15 minutes to spare for a quick chat? Send us a DM or simply hit reply here. Your feedback means the world to us!

We wanted to share some response scenario notes that our CEO Shawn Mayzes had stored for himself based on books he was reading at the time. These are helpful for him when talking to folks about deadlines and task responsibilities. Response Scenarios: - If They Say "I'll Try" Response: "I know you can do this. What would make you certain about hitting this deadline?" - If They're Overwhelmed Response: "Let's break this down - what's the one thing that would create the most progress?" - If They're Making Excuses Response: "I hear you. What can we do differently to make sure this gets priority?" - If They're Crushing It Response: "That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. What's your gut telling you about next steps?" #EffectiveCommunication #LeadershipTips #TeamworkMatters #GoalSetting #Prioritization #MotivationalLeadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #AccountabilityInAction #SupportiveLeadership #TeamSuccess

Ever feel like you're making too many decisions too early in the morning? If your day starts with decision overload, it's time for a strategic shift. 🌟 Introducing the concept of a Weekly Checklist to revolutionize your routine and save your mental energy for the decisions that truly matter in your leadership role. Why is this important? Because every decision, no matter how small, taps into your mental reserves. I'm sharing how to automate the trivial to focus on the transformative.

Quit dismissing a strategy as ineffective when you've only completed 2 out of the 6 necessary steps for results. One of the most significant self-sabotaging pitfalls is failing to see a process through and then becoming emotionally distressed when the expected results don't materialize. ✔️ Naturally, it will take longer if crucial steps are skipped. ✔️ Naturally, inconsistent implementation leads to inconsistent results. ✔️ Naturally, you'll feel like it's not working if you're not putting in the work. Before hastily moving on to another solution that seems like a cure-all... Honestly reflect on your commitment and implementation.

In my own POV, Micromanagement is the first step to create a toxic environment.

Here's a sneaky way the inner critic trips us up. It fixates on a down the line decision we can’t possibly have the data to make today. Yet it pressures us to figure it out now. This looks like: What if? What if? What if? This is understandable, we don't do well as a species dealing with the unknown. But what happens is the inner critic sucks us out of today and flings us into uncertainty land trying to solve an impossible puzzle, distracting us from doing the work today that will actually help us figure out what to do down the line. I know because I do this. Instead of doing the hard work in front of me I convince myself I'm "strategic planning" by thinking ahead to next month, next year. Strategic planning IS crucial. But also notice when you’re mixing up strategic planning for distraction. So when you get into the distraction swirl, sometimes the antidote is: Do Today. What's your antidote?

When things are blurry, we want the magical playbook that will tell us what to do. I catch myself doing this all the time. Thinking “what am I supposed to do here?” or “what’s the right way to handle this?” Sure, a playbook does work for some things. But not when strategy, creativity, complex dependencies, relationships, etc. are involved. We’re not going to find the silver-bullet playbook. So… what are we supposed to do?? (Ironic, yes 😉) 1. Assess - get as much info as you need for step 2… 2. Understand - get your head around what happened and what the end goal is. Not only from your perspective, but also from the perspective of anyone who is relevant. 3. Trust - the hardest step! You have to trust yourself. With the context from steps 1 and 2, along with the core values you already hold, your version of step 4 will be the right one given the circumstance. 4. Decide! Pick something that will move you closer to the end goal. There’s often more than one way to get there, so remember what you just did in step 3 and commit to your decision. The takeaway? You already have your values. Gather context. Trust yourself. Make decisions to make progress.
