Keep your team safe
In military jargon, air cover is how the military protects resources from enemy air power.
As a leader, this is your job.
You have to make sure that your team can work with minimal distraction from above.
It’s why Steve Jobs put the Macintosh team in a separate building. He thought that politics would get in the way of the progress they were making.
Out of sight was out of mind for the team, even if that meant he had to deal with the pressure from the outside.
That let the Macintosh team work on the important stuff.
How can you give that today?
