# Practices Tactical reference material to pull up while doing the work. --- ## Writing and presenting **[[SCQA]]** — Situation, complication, question, answer. The structure that makes arguments land. **[[Vertical Logic]]** — Governing thought first, then supporting points, then evidence. The pyramid principle in practice. **[[Clear Writing]]** — Short paragraphs, concrete details, active voice. The basics that most business writing gets wrong. **[[Slide Mechanics]]** — Visual formatting and language discipline. How slides work as a medium. --- ## Meetings **[[Meeting Modes]]** — Review versus tactics versus strategy. Different purposes require different prep, different structures, different decisions. **[[When to Meet]]** — Most things don't need synchronous time. Knowing when to meet and when not to. --- ## Planning **[[One-Page Annual Operating Plan]]** — Compress the year to 7-8 things that matter. Strategy made concrete and reviewable. **[[Four Questions]]** — A decision checklist: what are we doing, can we prove it works, how will we get it done, what do we expect to happen? --- ## Decisions **[[Decision Rubrics]]** — Make criteria explicit. Let teams self-score. Move decisions off your plate. ---
