๐ŸŽฏ 1) Set Clear Goals & Expectations

Define what success looks like and make sure everyone knows their role.

How to apply:
  • SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
    Example: “Increase sales by 15% in Q3 by targeting 10 new clients per month.”
  • Role clarity using a simple RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed).

๐Ÿ—ฃ️ 2) Communicate Openly & Regularly

Talk to your team regularly to keep everyone aligned.

How to apply:
  • Weekly 15-minute stand-ups + monthly deep-dives.
  • Active listening — try a 2-minute no-interrupt rule.
  • Tools: Telegram/Slack for quick updates, Google Docs for shared notes.

๐Ÿค 3) Empower & Trust Your Team

Let people make decisions and take responsibility.

How to apply:
  • Delegate outcomes, not steps. e.g., “Improve customer satisfaction score,” not “Call 20 clients/day.”
  • Promote psychological safety — discuss “what we learned” from experiments.

⏱️ 4) Organize & Prioritize

Use tools to keep track of tasks and deadlines.

How to apply:
  • Eisenhower Matrix — Urgent/Important → do now; Important/Not urgent → schedule.
  • Tool stack: Asana/Trello for tasks, Notion for docs, calendar time-blocking.
  • Pro tip: Color-code deadlines (Red = urgent, Green = long-term).

๐Ÿ… 5) Encourage Collaboration & Recognition

Support teamwork and celebrate achievements to keep morale high.

How to apply:
  • Cross-functional projects (e.g., Marketing × Sales brainstorms).
  • Recognition tactics: meeting shout-outs + small rewards.

Blend empowerment with respect for seniority.

  • Empower team members while maintaining respect for leaders/elders (แž្แž›ួแž“แžฏแž„แž˜ាแž“แžŸេแžšីแž—ាแž– แž”៉ុแž“្แžែแžšแž€្แžŸាแž€ិแž្แžិแž™แžŸแž‡ាแž“់แž›ើ).
  • Use informal gatherings (แžขាแž–ាแž ៍แž–ិแž–ាแž ៍-style meetups) to build trust and alignment.
  • Roll out one strategy per month; track progress via short team surveys.
