๐ŸŽ‰ Win of the Day: One Question, Big Unlock ๐ŸŽ‰
Had a cross-team meeting today, and during Q&A I asked something I thought Iโ€™d already covered:
โ€œWhat can I improve about our ticketing system?โ€
Iโ€™d asked before if there was anything I could help with โ€” and got a polite โ€œno.โ€But re-framing it as what can I improve unlocked a totally different response.
Turns out, a small tweak to one of our response forms could drastically reduce follow-ups and boost productivity. It had been a quiet frustration for weeks โ€” but no one had flagged it because I hadnโ€™t asked the right way.
๐Ÿ’ก 20 minutes later, the fix was live.
๐Ÿ˜Œ The team felt heard and relieved.
๐Ÿ“ˆ And now weโ€™ve got a smoother system for everyone.
Lesson learned: โ€œHow can I help?โ€ is generous.But โ€œWhat can I improve?โ€ invites honesty, ownership, and real change.
