Practice

44. Check In & Out

Brief check-ins at meeting start and end create space for presence and connection.

45. Only Important Notes

Limit notes to decisions, key changes, and actions to reduce information overload.

46. Iterative Shipping

Frequently share work in progress for early input rather than polishing in isolation.

47. Action Meeting

Structure meetings explicitly around actions rather than passive discussion.

48. Rounds

Structured turns in conversation to be sure everyone has a voice without interruption.

49. Adaptive Agenda

50. Work in Public

Make work visible through shared documents and dashboards instead of private updates.

Assess and categorize issues by urgency and importance before tackling them.

53. Have One Conversation
