The Daily Standup Questions

At the start of each day, reorient your mind from reactive management to principled leadership:

Am I building or am I blocking? If your calendar is full of approval meetings, you are blocking. Replace approvals with frameworks.
What did I learn yesterday that invalidates what I believed last week? If the answer is "nothing," you are not experimenting enough.
What is the most important thing I could make easier for my teams today? Platform leadership is service leadership.
What decision am I avoiding because it is politically uncomfortable? The hard conversation delayed is the crisis guaranteed.
Who is not in the room for a decision that will affect them? Inclusion is not a social preference; it is an error-correction mechanism.
