You're dealing with a sudden staff shortage in a busy period. How do you prioritize tasks effectively?
When your team is suddenly short-staffed during a busy period, it can feel like navigating a ship through a storm. Prioritizing tasks becomes not just important, but critical for maintaining operations and delivering results. Your goal is to ensure that essential functions are covered and that your team is not overwhelmed by trying to do too much with too few resources. The key is to identify core tasks that must continue, delegate effectively, and possibly defer less critical work until staffing levels return to normal.
