No meetings before 11am. No meetings when emails or calls will do. Don’t schedule calls, text coordinate them on the fly when possible. Cram all meetings into two days a week. 1-on-1s are usually 30-minute walking meetings.(Meetings are the death of productivity).
Think for yourself, not of yourself. Think of others, not for others.
There are infinite ways to lie, there’s only one way to tell the truth.
