    Create a trustworthy task system, define clear next actions, manage dependencies and deadlines, and expose delivery risk before work becomes overdue.

    Prevent email and meetings from becoming uncontrolled work queues by applying purposeful processing, clear participation rules and decision-focused meeting design.

  7. Step 7 · Lesson
