Give each objective target metrics and review pacing in lightweight check-ins instead of long status meetings.
Tie day-to-day projects to the goals they are meant to move, and rank work by expected impact on the metric.
Build org charts of who owns what, follow team check-in rhythm and recognise progress with awards.
