The Tuesday Roundup
Last week, I shared key highlights from my conversation with Gayle Lantz about doing more faster. Today, I have some resources to help you put it into action.
Doing more faster is all about the pace of decision-making. It's about reducing the time between insight and action. My post on making decisions as a founder is a good read for applying to your business.
Data-driven decision-making is also a powerful tool to unify your team. Make the decision and goal-setting process a team-wide affair and use it to drive buy-in. Create a habit of revisiting your whys and discussing them as a team.
In the linked post and my conversation with Gayle, we reference Type 1 and Type 2 decisions as a framework for faster decision-making. For a summary of Type 1 and Type 2 decision-making, check out this outline of Jeff Bezos’s annual letter that helped popularize the framework.
Moving quickly and pushing your team also requires a healthy culture. Building company culture is all about rituals and incentives. I wrote about this for the HVL blog and the newsletter last year. Take a look if you want actionable ways to create a culture that reflects your values.
Once you understand your core values, you should make sure that the day-to-day experience at your company aligns with those values. It’s not enough to just say what your principles are. They should be reflected in your business.
