ADVICE

Use Clear Next-Action Questions

  • Ask clear questions in meetings like 'What's the next action?', 'Who owns it?', and 'When is it due?'.
  • Use this to help build a team culture focused on accountability and actionable outcomes.
ANECDOTE

Reminders Can Be Appreciated

  • A reminder email to a co-worker about a due task was met with genuine gratitude.
  • This changed the perspective from feeling burdensome to feeling helpful and supportive.
ADVICE

Manage Roles, Not Just Tasks

  • When work lands outside your role, alert the responsible person instead of taking over.
  • Address tasks by role, not person, to keep communication clear and avoid confusion.
