WHAT IS ONE HABIT THAT HAS HELPED YOU SUCCEED?
“Maniacal prioritization. Every night, I review team progress, issues and company milestones. From there, I create a digital task list of priorities for the next day, paying special attention to high-priority initiatives, home runs and cross-department contingencies. In the morning, I focus on the priorities I’ve determined for the day, accomplishing as much as possible before the rest of the team shows up. Once they arrive, I have a concise list of action items and cross-department dependencies that I address to enable our company to move fast and make meaningful progress.”
