Great Reminders Framework

Leadership Matrix (3×3×2)

Pick a row (Direction / Understanding / Execution) and a column (Moment / Skill / System). Then switch between People and Results. Tap any cell to see the expected move.

How to use
Row = what you lead
Column = how you act
Moment
What you do now
Skill
What you practice
System
What you set up
Direction
Where are we going — and why?
+
Direction × Moment
Say the next step
One sentence that removes confusion.
People: “Here’s what matters. Here’s what good looks like.”
Results: “Today we deliver X. Done means Y. Due Z.”
+
Direction × Skill
Repeat priorities
Make alignment a weekly habit.
People: ask: “What did you hear as the priority?”
Results: practice: 1 goal → 3 priorities → 1 scoreboard.
+
Direction × System
Build a scoreboard
So focus survives busy weeks.
People: values in action (“We do X, not Y”).
Results: owners + metrics + weekly review cadence.
Understanding
What’s really going on?
+
Understanding × Moment
Ask before fixing
Get the real story first.
People: “How do you see it?” → mirror back their view.
Results: “What problem are we solving?” (one clear sentence).
+
Understanding × Skill
Practice questions
So you don’t jump too fast.
People: “What do you need from me?” + “What matters most?”
Results: “If we solved this, what changes?” then reframe.
+
Understanding × System
Build feedback loops
So reality reaches you fast.
People: safe to speak: “What am I doing that blocks you?”
Results: weekly “data → insight → decision” review.
Execution
Turn intent into action.
+
Execution × Moment
Make ownership clear
No guessing. No drift.
People: “When X happens, impact is Y. Next time, do Z.”
Results: owner + deadline + “done” + next check-in.
+
Execution × Skill
Practice follow-up
Consistency beats motivation.
People: coaching: “What’s your plan?” + “What support?”
Results: prioritize: 1 focus, postpone the rest.
+
Execution × System
Build a cadence
So progress is automatic.
People: 1:1 rhythm + feedback + recognition rituals.
Results: weekly priorities + Friday review loop.
Memory shortcut: Row = what (Direction / Understanding / Execution), Column = how (Moment / Skill / System), then choose People or Results.
