The Four Tiers of Effectiveness

When you feel overwhelmed, essentially, you can add team members or redefine priorities. I got together with my team and we had a working session. We had a big whiteboard and I was just kind of off the top of my head brainstorming. And I said, let's say tier number one is absolutely mission-crossing. Tier two is very important and strategic; tier three is meaningful but not vital.Tier four is what we call externally initiated and lower priority. This is an outside ask. It may be meaningful. But not only is it not vital, but this is not our idea.
