In Their Own Words…
"Routine sets you free" is the mantra underpinning our tools and approach in Scaling Up companies,
including the 15-minute daily huddle with your team (and spouse!) that will save everyone collectively
over an hour each day and allow you to avoid minor train wrecks (that grow into bigger problems) and
take advantage of immediate opportunities. "If you want to move faster, pulse faster."
–Verne Harnish is the CEO of Gazelles.
Keep your daily huddles to 15 minutes! If they start to run longer, people will
be less likely to show up. Force people to be brief, and any “stuck” items that
can’t be solved immediately should be taken offline.
How Does This Apply If You’re A(n)...
Entrepreneur: Would reducing the time spent in meetings enable you to spend
more time improving your product?
Executive: Would reducing the time spent in meetings enable you to spend
more time coaching your team members?
Freelancer: Would reducing the time spent in meetings enable you to spend
more time finding new clients?
Student: Do study groups truly help you with homework, or would you save
time studying alone?
Stay-at-Home Parent: How many meetings do you attend in support of the
PTA, the soccer league, or other community events? Could you have more
impact by actually having fewer meetings?
