Every team hears the CEO's plan a little differently, and catching it is your job. Decided checks in with your leaders weekly and shows who drifted and who owns the fix.
"None of the VPs report to me. So I'd nudge, wait, nudge again, and things still fell through the cracks. With Decided, Clara asks every owner each week. I step in only where it's stuck." How Decided helps:
Your job is to make things happen through people who don't report to you. Today that runs on nudges, DMs and people remembering to tell you.
Every action item from the staff meeting gets an owner and a date. At the next check-in Clara asks the owner if it happened. You stop chasing people, and nothing gets left half done.
Nobody reads out their OKRs. The pre-read comes from what teams said this week, not from updates written for the meeting, and the meeting opens with the decisions that are waiting.
When you're in the room for the CEO, you need more than what people tell the CEO's office. You hear where a team read a priority differently the week it happens, and you fix it before it reaches the CEO.
Clara has a short voice check-in with your leaders and other key people every week. She asks what changed, what's stuck and what needs a decision. Decided puts the answers together and shows you who owns what across the leadership team.
Priority by priority, what the leadership team agreed on next to what each team is actually doing. It's the picture you used to piece together from DMs and hallway conversations.
What changed, what's stuck, which decisions are waiting and who they're waiting on. You add your judgment and send it as the pre-read.
At the next check-in Clara asks each owner if it happened. The item stays open until the owner closes it, and you step in only where it's stuck.
The Chief of Staff used to rebuild the pre-read every week from DMs and docs, and the meeting went round the table reading out OKRs. The weekly brief replaced both. The meeting now opens with the decisions that are waiting and ends in 45 minutes.
She started with five leaders and the question the CEO asked every week. The first brief showed three decisions nobody owned, including pricing. The CEO asked for the next brief before the week was out.
When it works, the CEO gets the credit. When a follow-up slips, it's yours, and it costs real money: a launch waiting on a decision nobody owned.
No. Decided does the collecting and the follow-up questions. You decide what matters, what goes to the CEO and what happens next.
The leadership team agrees on who sees what before the first check-in. Decided doesn't score anyone. It shows where teams split and what's still open.
Keep it. Your tracker holds what people typed in. Decided asks every owner each week what changed and what's stuck, so you don't have to chase the update.
A short voice check-in per person each week. No forms, no status doc, no extra meeting.
No. You see patterns, owners and open decisions, not anyone's answers.
Pick the question the CEO asks you most and one group of leaders. Put the first brief on the CEO's desk before the next staff meeting. Then decide together whether to widen it.
One call to pick the question and the leaders. Then you bring the CEO the first brief.
