The “Prioritization Playbook”

You're spending a lot of time helping your team decide which tasks to tackle first, which breaks your concentration on your own responsibilities. What your team really needs is a consistent framework for prioritizing work. By creating a "Prioritization Playbook," you can equip them with clear criteria and a decision-making process for managing their tasks independently. The playbook sets expectations for how to assess urgency, impact, and dependencies, so they can make prioritization decisions on their own. Implementing this will take some time but will lead to fewer interruptions and better workflow for everyone.
