As a starter, you can ask yourself, where can I add the most value with an hour, a day, a week, or a month of focus?

To sustain the trust that’s essential for a focused and happy team, make sure that leadership is honest and transparent about where your business stands right now, key goals for the upcoming period, and what the current challenges are.
