I swore this would not become “another” startup blog but it’s the new thing in my life so here it is…

i saw a great post by trizle that i got me thinking and led to an email i sent the team today..

law 1 - any email, bullet point, statement should almost always have a number of some kind behind it.  e.g. the project will be late….bad..project will be late by 10 days because of these 3 lesons

law 2 - always have dates associated with tasks. e.g. my goals are to finish x, y, z is bad vs. i’m going to finish x by wednesday, y by thursday and z by sunday.

as a manager/ceo enforcing date driven tasks and supporting data for most statements is a key lesson and clears up any ambiguity and will hopefully eliminate the dreaded “i assumed you were going to…blah blah blah”
