Humanergy's Lance Satterthwaite talks about how to manage when you are pushed to do more with less. This is part of our First Friday work sessions. He covers three strategies...

Strategy 1 - Let things spill over:

  • Be wise about what will and won’t get done.

Strategy 2 - Get a larger bucket:

  • Increase efficiencies where possible.
  • Ask for help, delegate, and coach others
  • Advocate for increased resources.
  • Work longer hours when necessary.

Strategy 3 - Change what is flowing into the bucket or the pace in which it is flowing:

  • Engage in crucial conversations with stakeholders.
  • Clarify key deliverables.
  • Prioritize the work and make a game plan.
