Effective Implementation - Week 3 Recap
Setting Boundaries, Post-mortems and Coaching Your Team
Welcome to the Week 3 Recap of my May Series on Implementation!
This week, I continued my series on Implementation by sharing three practices that have made a real difference in how I lead and support teams.
These aren’t just theories!
I’ve seen the results when these habits are applied with consistency and intention.
Here’s a quick recap of what was covered:
Setting boundaries as a part of your Personal Leadership Strategy
As a leader, your value is not just in execution, but in thinking deeply, solving complex problems, and making strategic decisions that move your project forward.
This requires uninterrupted time to research and problem-solve. You need time for mental clarity, and the ability to focus on what truly matters.
This means learning to say no to tasks, meetings, or requests that don’t align with your priorities. Read more here.
The Importance of Post-Mortems
As a leader, offering regular, intentional feedback (like during post-mortems) does more than manage performance, it:
✅ Builds trust and strengthens your relationship with your team
✅ Creates space for continuous improvement
✅ Ensures projects are executed with excellence
✅ Prevents small issues from becoming big problems
✅ Reinforces good behaviors and keeps priorities clear
Post-mortems after key project milestones are one of the most effective tools I use to keep this feedback going. Read more here.
Coach Instead of Command
Coaching creates space for your team to understand the “why,” explore their own ideas, and take ownership.
Leaders who coach, help their teams develop critical thinking skills to make better decisions, and become solution oriented.
I want to encourage all leaders to develop their coaching skills, because coaching:
➡️Improves efficiency
➡️Builds trust and capability
➡️Helps your team grow in confidence

Special Features this week:
This week, I had the pleasure of featuring three individuals who embody what it means to implement with excellence. Gita Sivanandan reminded us of the importance of consistency and structure in execution. Ghulam Murtaza shared insights on the value of building momentum and staying focused on the mission. Javed Khan emphasized the role of empowering teams through clarity and purposeful action.
Each of them brought unique and practical perspectives that deepened the conversation on Implementation.
Have a look at their insights shared below!
