Cards Against people Mismanagement
summary
A deck of practical “cards” maps to concrete practices: start conversations with flags (eg. “producer hat on” or “these are ideas”), run regular one-on-one meetings using the Emily scale (1–10) to surface issues, use SMART goals to turn fixes into measurable milestones, and run monthly retrospectives. Examples: a six-person pitching team handling 3–15 projects and 5–21 day turnarounds reduces stress by prioritizing one monthly improvement; use a bull’s-eye of control/influence to convert rants into actions.
