Many excellent tips in this article.

The one about sloppiness and formatting is a huge one for me.

When you correct people on these things, it can seem like you're being nit-picky or majoring in the minor, but -

• It reflects the level of care behind all aspects of the work. If they couldn't be bothered to make it look clean, how rigorous was the analysis behind it?

• It affects how people receive the work. Whether they are detail oriented or not, we all feel the difference between sloppy and polished work.

As part of preparing for their 2024 goals, I've asked all my direct reports to review this, comes with at least two key takeaways and one example of a time they acted like an owner and one example of when they did not.

This is EXCELLENT.
