Decisions leaders revisit

Choose one recurring source of friction that you can influence. Make the action small and observable, attach it to an existing moment, and ask whether it helps. A decision sentence before a meeting may be a better start than an entirely new process. Choose a habit.

Choose a review rhythm that matches the pace and risk of the work. Revisit sooner when assumptions, capacity or dependencies change. Stable long-term work may need a different cadence from a time-sensitive operational task. Plan the review.

No. Work samples, structured observations and a clear description of useful completion may provide better evidence. Explain the limits of any measure. Avoid inventing a number simply because a template expects one.

Identify whether you disagree about the event, its effect or the next step. Invite missing context and agree how to check uncertain facts. Agreement is not something to force as proof of a positive attitude. Prepare a more useful exchange.

Sensitive individual feedback should normally be private. Address an immediate safety issue promptly, then use the appropriate follow-up process. Team learning can be shared without naming or exposing an individual unnecessarily.

Make decisions and commitments accessible in writing, agree response expectations and protect reasonable working hours. Use live conversations when the topic needs them. Do not confuse constant online presence with effective contribution.

Treat repeated cancellation as a capacity issue. Decide what can move, narrow the practice activity or state honestly when the opportunity can be revisited. Avoid describing learning as a priority while consistently expecting it to happen outside paid work. Build a supported plan.

Compare the agreement with what happened, explore constraints and distinguish unclear expectations, missing support, skill gaps and behaviour before choosing a response. Where formal performance procedures apply, follow them fairly and seek appropriate advice.

No. Outcomes also depend on coordination, task design, dependencies and shared resources. Individual scores can conceal the collaborative work that makes delivery possible. Review the work system alongside individual responsibilities.
