Leadership
If you took a 2-week vacation with no phone access, what happens to daily operations?
Everything would likely stall — most decisions and key relationships run through me.
Some things would slip. The team can handle routine work but escalates most decisions.
Mostly fine. The team handles almost everything, with a few exceptions.
It would run exactly as normal — the team is fully empowered to decide.
How do decisions get made and communicated across the team?
Ad hoc — depends who you ask, nothing's written down.
Informal patterns exist, but they live in people's heads, not on paper.
Mostly documented, with a few gray areas people work around.
Clear decision rights and a documented process everyone follows.
How much of your week goes to putting out fires vs. working *on* the business?
Almost entirely fires.
Mostly fires, with the occasional planning session.
A healthy mix, tilted toward proactive work.
Mostly proactive — fires are rare and handled by the team.
