The Change Lab
A space for changemakers navigating the messy, meaningful work of leading change. Here, you’ll find tools, stories, and strategies to help you create the conditions for real, lasting impact—starting with your team.
The Power of Even/Over Statements
We make trade-offs every day, whether it’s in the grocery aisle or the boardroom. But when everything is labeled a priority, decisions often default to the loudest voice or hottest fire—leaving teams stuck in reactive mode. Enter Even/Over statements: a simple yet powerful tool to clarify what matters most when values and priorities compete. By explicitly naming trade-offs (e.g., depth even over speed), you can align your team, foster better decision-making, and focus on the work that truly drives impact.
