Need versus want misalignment

As managers, we tend to mix what we need and what we want. We mix what we must get with our nice-to-haves, so everything becomes urgent and important. We can feel the tension in the air, where different managers are fighting for every feature they need to complete as if the company’s faith depends on it. At this point, trust is completely broken.

Let’s remove dependencies! (Working in silos)

We hate to fight, so our default coping mechanism hearing “No!” every meeting is to simply go around the problem. How many times have we found ourselves doing everything within our power to go around communication problems, implementing the solution we’re looking for ourselves just to reach our deadlines without losing our sanity?

In order to build trust, we have to align our teams to start optimizing for value (getting the right things done faster) rather than optimizing our local throughput (getting work done faster). It all starts with consistently sharing context, priorities and pains as part of our execution process.
