    Management Tips

  • Over-communicate — Daily async updates, weekly calls

  • Focus on outcomes, not hours — Measure by FTDs, not time spent

  • Invest in training — A skilled team member is worth 3 average ones

  • Celebrate wins — Monthly bonus for hitting FTD targets

  • Documentation first — If it's not documented, it doesn't scale
