ZOMRA · LEADING IN TECH · WEEK 4
Multiply and exit well: real hours, the handover letter, and your 30-day plan
How this board worksEach pair works on its own frame. Use sticky notes with your initials: 1count real hours2write the handover bullets3start your capstone
Activity 1, zone 1: the top 20 percent audit
In your pair, 12 minutes. Count alone first (3 minutes), then challenge each other. Name your top 20 percent and post real hour counts for last month, next to the hours your bottom 20 percent got. No reports? Count the people you mentor, unblock, and review for.
Top 20 percent: names + hours
one sticky per person: their name and the hours they got from you last month. Real numbers, not impressions.

Bottom 20 percent: hours
one sticky: the total hours your bottom 20 percent got from you last month.

The gap, in one line
if your best people got the least of you, what exactly are you multiplying? Whose judgment are you replacing with your own answers, one rescue at a time?
ONE STICKY PER PERSON
Activity 2, zone 2: the 30-day handover letter
Solo, 12 minutes, on your pair's frame. Write the first 5 bullet points of the handover doc you would produce if you left in 30 days. Write the named person on every bullet. In the last 3 minutes, your partner checks: is a real person named?
Your 5 bullets
one sticky per bullet: what the next person must know or own, and the real person named to hold it. Systems, decisions, and relationships all count.
FIVE STICKIES PER PERSON
NO ONE
move every bullet that names nobody here. This zone should be empty. If it is not, that is not a documentation gap. That is your finding. If your lowest arc is arc 4, your capstone problem may live here.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE ZONE
Zone 3: capstone drafting corner
Used in the capstone brief, before teach-back 2. The take-home is the 30-day leadership experiment plan, one page, exactly these six lines (worksheet 3 is the full template). Start from your lowest arc in the self-assessment.
The six template lines
1 Diagnosis: my lowest arc is ___ (score ___). The specific behavior gap is ___
2 The real problem: one current, named situation on my team where this gap costs something (a person, a project, a metric)
3 The experiment: for 30 days I will [one behavior], [frequency], starting [date]
4 Evidence I will collect: eg 1:1 notes, delegation log, calendar tags, a re-run proposal
5 Success measure: what will be observably different at day 30
6 Risk: what makes me likely to quit this, and my counter
Your first draft line
post one sticky before you leave tonight: your lowest arc, and one behavior you might run for 30 days. The full plan is this week's take-home.

Take-homeCapstone: the 30-day leadership experiment plan. One page, the six lines above, on worksheet 3. Counts as done: submitted by end of Wednesday, 2 days before the case clinic, with a real named problem. Plans without one get sent back. It is reviewed in your 1:1, never presented. No pre-read for week 5: two real cases, read live, nothing to prepare.
