Management

Inspired by Will Larson’s approach to 5–15s, I set a goal for myself a little over a year ago: to initiate a recurring newsletter aimed at offering a glimpse into the ongoing progress and contributions of my team within our organization.

As I reflect on the last year, the value of this simple communication tool has extended far beyond my initial expectations. With that said, I wanted to share my experience of the benefits that one might expect from incorporating a monthly newsletter into your leadership strategy.

I have been fortunate enough in my leadership roles to hit a point where the way in which I was operating was becoming less effective and I recognized I needed to make adjustments in order to allow my teams to be successful. I subtly noticed I was becoming the bottleneck across my teams and needed to operate on a higher level of abstraction in order to get out of my teams way.
