🎯 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).
KH: កំណត់គោលដៅ SMART និងប្រើ RACI ដើម្បីបែងចែកតួនាទីឲ្យច្បាស់។

🗣️ 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.
KH: ទំនាក់ទំនងជាប្រចាំ (ប្រជុំខ្លីសប្ដាហ៍) និងស្តាប់យ៉ាងសកម្ម។ ប្រើឧបករណ៍ឌីជីថលសម្រាប់ព័ត៌មានរហ័ស។

🤝 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.
KH: ផ្ទេរការទទួលខុសត្រូវដោយផ្តោតលទ្ធផល និងលើកទឹកចិត្តឲ្យនិយាយស្មោះត្រង់អំពីការ​សាកល្បង/មេរៀន។

⏱️ 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).
KH: ប្រើម៉ាទ្រីស Eisenhower និងឧបករណ៍គ្រប់គ្រងការងារ ដើម្បីរៀបចំអាទិភាព និងកាលកំណត់។

🏅 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.
KH: ជំរុញការធ្វើការ​រួមគ្នា និងសរសើរជាសាធារណៈ ដើម្បីរក្សាគំនិតឯកភាព និងមនសិការ។

🌏 Cultural Integration (Cambodia)

Blend empowerment with respect for seniority.

  • Empower team members while maintaining respect for leaders/elders (ខ្លួនឯងមានសេរីភាព ប៉ុន្តែរក្សាកិត្តិយសជាន់លើ).
  • Use informal gatherings (អាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍-style meetups) to build trust and alignment.
  • Roll out one strategy per month; track progress via short team surveys.
KH: ផ្ដល់អំណាចជាមួយការគោរពជាន់ថ្នាក់ និងប្រើជំនួបមិត្តភាពដើម្បីបង្កើនទំនុកចិត្ត។ ធ្វើជាដំណាក់កាលមួយខែ១យុទ្ធសាស្ត្រ។

Key Takeaway

Start simple: set clear goals, talk often, trust people, stay organized, and recognize wins. That’s the foundation of a strong team.
