Great teams solve problems faster and ship value faster.

Great companies make decisions faster.

Ask yourself: What can I do to SHRINK TIME TO VALUE?

@johncutlefish Part of it is a “connection” premium we now pay for being connected, seen, heard, looped in. No water cooler means loss of presence. Its not a production problem its a place in the tribe/community problem.

I've got a newsletter focused on GSD for Leaders and Teams. Come see the first few posts thegsdway.substack.com/subscribe?utm_…

So much of writing is getting your thinking straight. Excellent guide here on the always useful “ 1 Pager”.

Asking which is better #1 or #2 as a new banner on LinkedIn? I'm making a course on GSD Meetings since for many there is a leveling up needed on how to do meetings that get results, drive a bias to act, and create committed action. This will help with part of that story.

When I entire a new team or org, These four tell me a lot about the maturity of the team, the way they think about the work, the quick wins, the way they prioritize, the "value" of work, and their orientation to ambiguity and complexity - among other things. What do you ask?

Tried to codify 20 questions I ask to drive progress in the business. Which question(s) are you asking to focus and drive? reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur…

Still holds up for a chuckle 8 years later.

Still feel this way.

IMAGINE The dotted line relationships of this matrixed organization!

I'd add that a good goal is challenging/stretching out of comfort, is aligned with strategy and can be supported broadly with no ambiguity of commitment from leadership. Thx @johncutlefish for sharing.

@johncutlefish I intentionally add sales, marketing, ops and call it "Value Delivery System / Growth Engine". To distinguish it as a healthy cross-functional effort to deliver clarity and prioritized business value... rather than the typical "product" team which seems to rub others wrong.

This is helpful.
