Let’s Get to Work! Showing up isn’t enough. Let’s talk about how you show up.
Too often, project work gets sliced up like a pie. Everyone takes their piece, does their part, and hopes the rest comes together. But execution—real, results-driven execution—takes more than showing up to your slice. It takes ownership of the whole pie.
Getting into the work means more than task management or timeline checking. It’s rolling up your sleeves, staying curious, asking “What’s next?” and “What does my work unlock for others?” It’s investing the time to not only do your part but also understand how your piece fits into the bigger picture.
Here’s what “getting into the work” looks like:
Invest the Time Upfront - Understanding the problem before you start “solving” it saves time down the line. Read the full brief. Ask the questions. Set yourself up to contribute with intention, not just activity.
Care About the Pickup & the Handoff - Your work doesn’t exist in isolation. Someone else is building on what you hand off—and someone before you paved the way. Whether you're starting the race or running anchor, treat the baton like it matters. Because it does.
Know Your Role, Own Your Impact - Not everyone’s the quarterback. And that’s okay. But whether you're strategy, support, or the executor, your role in the collective goal matters. When everyone commits to the whole outcome—not just their own name on a status slide—that’s when momentum builds.
Accountability Isn’t Blame, It’s Belief - Being accountable is not about finger-pointing. It’s about believing that what you do matters—and that others are counting on you to bring your full self to the work. Care enough to follow through. Be bold enough to ask for what you need.
Whether you're managing the plan or playing a key role inside it, this is your reminder: Projects move forward when people are committed to the goal. Not just about the deliverables—but about the experience of doing the work well, together.
So, let’s not wait for the perfect moment, the kickoff call, or the next round of approvals. Let’s get to work!
