The Micro-Friction Checklist

Small cracks, unchecked meetings, invisible effort, tool sprawl, leaking know-how do more damage to change than any single strategy. The Microfriction Checklist is a one-page, practical playbook that helps leaders repair those cracks with short, measurable experiments. It gives you six high-impact micro-moves (engagement, boundaries, AI & tools, skills, security, tacit knowledge), a 30-day test plan for each, quick scripts for huddles, and simple KPIs so you see results fast.

Use it to run a low-risk 30-day sprint: pick one microproblem, assign an owner, run weekly checks, measure a headline metric and share the learning. Small repairs rebuild trust, restore capacity and create momentum for the bigger changes you want to lead.
