    ← Back to Busy Leader Field Notes

    A weekly huddle prevents the silent drift that creates surprise fires.

    Why it matters

    • Stops misalignment early
    • Surfaces blockers before they become emergencies
    • Builds accountability through commitments
    • Replaces status theatre with decisions

    Do this (agenda)

    • Wins + learnings (5 min)
    • Progress on priorities (10 min)
    • KPIs / metrics (5 min)
    • Blockers + decisions needed (10–15 min)
    • Commitments for next week (5 min)

    Common traps

    • Turning it into deep problem-solving
    • No clear owners after the meeting
    • Inconsistent schedule (so it loses power)
