Stop fixing everything. Fix what matters most.

A lot of leaders tell me they feel stuck in a cycle of reacting:

The same problems keep coming back

Meetings feel repetitive

Everyone is busy, but nothing is changing

That’s exactly why I created the AIM Framework, a simple way to create momentum without burning people out.

AIM stands for:
AnalyzeImproveMove

It’s not theory. It’s a rhythm. A way to lead when you don’t have time for another complicated strategy.

Let me show you how it works.

A: Analyze (Get Curious, Not Critical)

Most leaders jump to solutions too fast. We fix symptoms, not systems.

Instead, try this:

Ask these three questions before making any decision:

What’s really happening?

Why is it happening?

What will happen if we do nothing?

Answer those honestly, and you’ll stop solving the wrong problem.

I: Improve (Fix What’s Broken, Not What’s Annoying)

Instead of fixing everything, fix the thing that creates the most friction.

Try this:

Identify one change that makes everything else easier

Focus on systems, not personalities

Fix the root, not the reaction

Improvement isn’t about more work. It’s about smarter work.

M: Move (Progress Beats Perfection)

Most changes fail because we hold onto them too long, waiting to “roll them out perfectly.”

So instead:

Test it small

Learn fast

Adjust quicker than you planned

Movement creates clarity. Perfection creates delay.
