In today’s episode, I’m sharing a strategy that has transformed how my team tackles big projects: working in smaller, focused groups. Whether you’re running a team of 13 like I am or collaborating with peers on a shared goal, breaking into smaller groups can unlock efficiency, foster deeper collaboration, and help everyone take ownership of their role.
I discuss how this approach works within my own projects, such as launching Flowerie, our e-commerce shop, and producing Immersion Live, our annual conference. I also introduce two powerful frameworks—Dan Martell’s 1-3-1 framework and the 10-80-10 delegation model—that can streamline decision-making and empower your team to work independently while still aligning with your vision.
Here’s how these concepts come to life:
-
The 1-3-1 framework requires team members to come to you with one problem, three solutions, and one recommendation. It reduces your decision-making burden while strengthening their problem-solving skills.
-
The 10-80-10 model allows you to shape a project’s vision, let your team handle the bulk of the work, and return for the final touches. It’s all about empowering your team while preserving your creative input.
No matter the size of your team, these strategies ensure smoother project execution and foster a culture of trust and efficiency. Tune in to learn how these simple but effective tools can elevate your creative business and help you step into your zone of genius.
