-## Where to Place the Post Files
+Cut down on unnecessary meetings to free up your employees' time for truly impactful work. This means establishing a
+simple, predictable weekly meeting schedule for your team, as well as optimizing your one-on-ones.
 
+Measure Motivation
+------------------
 
+Use surveys regularly to assess your team members' motivation and understand what excites or creates stress for them.
+For example, ask: What habits does the team want to improve? What are some specific ideas to improve those habits? Then
+create quarterly improvement plans to address any pain points.
 
-Your post files should be placed in `src/content/posts/` directory. You can also create sub-directories to better organize your posts and assets.
+Mentor High-Potential Employees on Key Skills
+---------------------------------------------
 
-```
-src/content/posts/
-├── post-1.md
-└── post-2/
-    ├── cover.png
-    └── index.md

+To ensure your high performers feel challenged and your developing employees are growing, schedule quarterly
+skill-development meetings for each of your direct reports. Use that time to identify one concrete, high-leverage skill
+(think problem-solving or leadership) for them to improve in the next quarter.
