Last 3 minutes: what worked? What do we improve next meeting?

3 columns.

For each delayed decision, compute weekly cost of delay financially or in opportunity.

After project/event, 4 questions: expected, actual, why, lesson for next time.

End of each quarter, 2 hours: what achieved? what not? lesson? next quarter?

Opportunities come from acquaintances not friends — activate 20 weak ties this month.

Each month, write 3 behaviors to start, 3 to stop, 3 to continue.

Every Sunday, 1-hour reflection: what learned? Stop? Next step?

Delegate each task at one of five explicit levels instead of just "do it" or "don't".

Convert your daily meeting to 15 minutes standing, three questions per person, then dismiss.

End every meeting with: what worked (+) and what we change next time (Δ).

Daily short standing meeting: what did I do yesterday? Today? Any blockers?

After each phase: what happened? What did we expect? Why the gap? How do we learn?

Beyond the daily morning huddle, dedicate 20 weekly minutes to a deeper review: what wore us out this week?

For tasks under two weeks, a three-line charter instead of the full page — same protection, less friction.

5-7 detailed rules for daily team operations (meetings, replies, vacations, decisions).

Simple recurring rituals build culture more than statements. Design 3: daily, weekly, monthly.

45 min per quarter: what to stop, start, continue. Simplest team evolution tool.

After a major success, hold a structured "after-action review" asking: what exactly did we do right, and how do we deliberately repeat it — not just "what did we get wrong".
