“Relax, look around, make a call”
When dealing with multiple problems and prioritizes, the leader must determine the highest priority task and execute upon it.
Steps
- Evaluate the highest priority problem
- Lay out in simple, clear, and concise terms the landscape of the problem for you team
- Develop and determine a solution, seeking input from key leaders and the team
- Direct the execution of that plan, focusing all efforts and resources toward this priority task.
- Move to next highest priority and repeat 104
- As priorities shift, communicate up and down the leadership chain
- Don’t let focus on one priority distract from the larger opeartion, keep an eye on other problems and shift priorities as necessary
