Use the right tool

In the same way businesses use different software to produce videos than they do to reconcile spreadsheets, seasoned leaders pair assignments with talent that is best suited for the task.

one frame projects within global context, tie to team/department charter, and identify parts of job description that make this person ideal for the job

two specify project goals, not methods or tools

three share all information during handoff, set response rules on forwards

four append formal job descriptions or assignments with a raci

five make post mortems public, include applications to other projects (see toolkit)
