The Commander

“I make sure people, priorities and standards work together.”

What Commanders do

Commanders create clear ownership, maintain standards and keep the whole operation performing.

When Commanders add value

  • Running a complex team, business or operation.
  • Making sure responsibilities and priorities are clear.
  • Keeping work on track as the organisation grows.

What to watch for

Commanders can protect a system that works well today without noticing that customer needs or market conditions have changed. Strong operations still need fresh ideas and outside input.

Try this in your own situation

Several people share a responsibility and important tasks are being missed. You help them agree priorities, responsibilities and a way to review progress.

A question to reflect on

When did clarifying responsibilities help people move forward?

Something to try

Choose a shared responsibility. Agree what a good result looks like, who will do the work and when to review it.
