ā
1. We needed an overarching strategy. ā
ā
ā¹ If something went wrong, we pivotedā
ā¹ If we pivot, we should inform the whole team. ā
ā
We didn't do the latter. ā
ā
2. We needed a clear strategy for each team. ā
ā
ā¹ If strategy A failed, we would try strategy B. ā
ā¹ If strategy B failed, we would try strategy C. ā
ā
We didn't involve the team in each failure. ā
ā
3. We needed a leader in each team. ā
ā
ā¹ If a team was failing, it was without a leaderā
ā¹ If a team was progressing, it had a leader. ā
ā
We didn't delegate tasks soon enough. ā
