Title: The "3-Minute" Management Reset
Most managers think they need an hour-long meeting to fix a performance issue. They don't. They just need a better story.
I once worked with an executive who was brilliant at strategy but failing at leadership. His team felt like "cogs." We applied the Storytizing framework to his weekly check-ins. Instead of asking "What's the status?", he started asking, "What’s the one obstacle I can remove so you can win today?"
By changing the narrative from oversight to support, he didn't just get better results—he got loyalty. Management isn't about the 60-minute boardroom session; it’s about the 3-minute connection that says, "I see you, and I’m in your corner."
The Manager’s Challenge this week: Find one team member and spend 180 seconds listening to their "win" of the week. No critiques. Just connection.
