Keep Scoring When You’re Shorthanded

Being down a team member can throw off all your plans.

To make sure your team still gets the most important work done and doesn't burnout, follow these 3 steps.

↕️ 1. Redistribute highest value work only

Speak to those they worked most with to figure out what their most critical contributions were. This is the only work you'll find support for from other team members.

Forget everything else for now. You don't want to swamp your already-stretched team with someone else’s least important tasks.

📋 2. Establish 3 daily goals

Each day, ask everyone to say 3 things they will do that are connected to the team's overall goals.

Be sure to help them reprioritize or redistribute the workload if it feels like some people are on taking too much.

🙋 3. Form accountability partnerships

Ask everyone to pair up and check-in on each other daily to make sure they’re making progress on those 3 most important tasks.

This will boost your team's motivation and create more awareness of different roles and responsibilities.
