How to Use Powerful Rituals for More Success
summary
Argues that intentionally designed rituals — not more meetings — produce measurable effects: a lockdown fist bump ritual celebrates each order/invoice and keeps mood above water, a shared golf ball symbol still appears on calls years later, a one‑minute daily drawing increases creative risk taking, the rubber duck practice cuts ~60–70% of interruptions, and the robot workout/red‑yellow cards stop unresolvable debates so teams refocus and report visible progress.
