Rules are often created to prevent a mistake that happened once, three years ago. This creates "Policy Friction" that slows down your best performers.
Here are 3 Strategies that acts as the compass:
Strategy 1: The Sunset Clause
Propose that every new internal rule has an expiration date unless it is proven useful.
Strategy 2: Empowered Deviance.
Give your high-performers the "Green Light" to bypass a standard process if it achieves the goal 50% faster without compromising safety.
Strategy 3: Simplification Sprints.
Ask your team: "If we had to achieve this goal with half the steps, which ones would we cut first?"
The Kinetic Quote: "A leader’s job isn't to build a maze of safety, but a highway for talent." - Cyril N Fomonyuy
