How do I stay informed when I have so many direct reports?
Hi and welcome to this week's Cultivated Management newsletter.
This week I'm doing things differently - let me know whether it works for you.
I've recorded this week's newsletter as a video!
I'm hoping it will give me more freedom to articulate ideas quickly - and also be engaging for you.
Let me know what you think by hitting reply to this email and sharing your thoughts.
Good? Bad?
Should it be shorter? Longer? More videos or one big one?
And what topics do you want covered next year?
I hope you enjoy.

Below are the snippets of what's in the video and associated resources.
The 5:15
A 5:15 report is a report that takes your direct no more than 15 minutes to create and yourself no more than 5 minutes to read.
I like to include the following sections:
What have you accomplished?
What's the mood of the team?
What personal experiment are you running?
What are the team doing to improve?
I like the report in a simple email - nothing fancy - and on a Friday afternoon so I can digest it Fri or Mon.
Worked a treat when I did this with my team.
How to manage remote employees?
