📨 SOLUTION GARDEN — PROJECT MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED
Practical strategies to help you lead projects with clarity, calm, and results.
🌿 QUICK WIN OF THE WEEK
Host a “reset conversation,” not a meeting.
Skip the big kickoff slide deck.
Instead, ask your team two questions:
1️⃣ What feels clear right now?
2️⃣ What feels heavy?
You’ll leave with insight and more energy, without another hour lost to meeting fatigue.
💬 REAL-WORLD SCENARIO
“Everyone’s back… but no one’s really back.”
The first weeks of January often feel scattered. Everyone’s returning from vacation, inboxes are overflowing, and priorities are fuzzy. The cure isn’t a stricter schedule. It’s getting everyone on the same page. A simple 20-minute “reset ritual” where people reconnect to purpose before the next sprint does more than any project plan or Gantt chart ever could.
⚙️ MINI FRAMEWORK
The 3 R’s of a Team Reset
- Reconnect: Start with how people are doing, not what they’re doing.
- Refocus: Revisit the “why” behind your top project.
- Re-establish rhythm: Choose one cadence everyone can count on, like Monday priorities and Friday wins.
🪴 FROM THE SOLUTION GARDEN
“Reconnection before reorganization.”
