Read time: 3 mins…
Our team has grown a fair amount this year.
We’ve been lucky to bring on some truly exceptional talent that has made our lives a lot easier…
But also, to be honest, a few where things didn’t quite work out… 😬
(You know how nearly every candidate will say they like working in a “fast-paced environment”…? Well, my experience tells me quite a lot of people have a pretty skewed perspective on what fast-paced means. 😅)
At EC, we genuinely move very fast.
As a team we deliver WAY more in a month than most businesses do in a quarter.
All whilst only working 4-days per week.
Which begs the question… how?
We have a clarity on our goal.
And in between us and our goal is a series of problems and obstacles we have to overcome.
WE get to decide the pace at which attack and solve those problems.
And our goal is exciting.
So we want to do it as soon as possible.
Okay… but how do you implement this tactically…?
You (and your team) have to set a goal YOU care about.
You look at exactly what needs to happen in the business to hit the goal.
You give every every number and project an owner.
You track performance weekly via a scorecard.
You meet every week to discuss the scorecard.
You allocate all of your resources to solving the constraints and moving those numbers on the scorecard.
You don’t do anything else.
The last bullet point there is by far the hardest…
But it should be liberating to know that YOU get to choose what you are working for… and even better YOU get to decide how long it takes and how quickly you solve the problems that lie ahead.
As always, I hope this was useful.
