Role and Task Assignment
One of our favorite tools is the RACI matrix. Employ this easy and highly structured method at the onset of a project or at an impasse to bring clarity to your team’s mission and roles. Works extremely well at the whiteboard to help focus the team and build consensus about the next steps. Don’t forget that follow through is also a critical ingredient—plan, then act.
