Leader Standard Work 101: The System That Keeps You Organized, Focused & Out of the Weeds

If you feel overwhelmed, reactive, or constantly juggling tasks, this episode of the Get Organized at Work podcast is for you. Today, in Day 2 of our 12 Days of Leadership series, we’re breaking down Leader Standard Work (LSW) — the structure, systems, and routines that help leaders stay organized, focused, and strategic no matter how busy things get.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• What Leader Standard Work really is (and what it’s not)

• How LSW helps you shift from reactive to proactive leadership

• The core daily, weekly, and monthly routines that reduce chaos

• How to stop getting lost in your to-do list and start leading with clarity

• How LSW supports delegation, prioritization, and decision-making

• Why consistency is the ultimate leadership superpower

• How this system helps new leaders, managers, directors, and multi-site roles stay on top of things

• Real examples from healthcare + operations leadership

Whether you're a newly promoted manager, a multi-site leader juggling competing priorities, or someone who just wants to stop drowning in tasks, this episode will help you build the predictable structure you’ve been craving.
