Balance your issues list: scale what's working, not just fix problems
Executive overview
Most leadership teams fill their issues list with problems — things broken, stuck, or unwanted. This crowds out time spent scaling what already works. The fix is simple: rebalance the issues list to include growth opportunities alongside problems.
Stop optimising only for what's broken; actively scale what's already working.
The imbalance on issues lists
- Teams default to fixing broken things, not scaling successes
- Constant problem focus becomes neurotic — heads buried in what's not working
- No attention left for identifying what is working and growing it
- Companies that focus on growth opportunities are the ones "humming"
The shift to make
- Graduate away from a problem-only issues list
- Add scaling opportunities: what's working that can be pushed further?
- Balance between fixing problems and amplifying strengths
