About Tactical Memo

Field-Tested Leadership for Real Results

Tactical Memo is a weekly newsletter delivering field-tested tactics that cut through the noise of leadership theory.

It’s built for managers, directors, and executives who want to:

  • Lead people with clarity and influence

  • Drive projects that actually finish on time

  • Scale performance across teams and organizations

  • Apply AI in practical, non-hyped ways

No fluff. No recycled leadership quotes. Just frameworks and tools that work in real-world, high-pressure environments.

What You’ll Get

Each issue dives deep into the areas that matter most to leaders today:

  • Managing People – Proven systems for building trust, handling conflict, and motivating high performers.

  • Running Projects – Playbooks to simplify execution and cut through chaos when stakes are high.

  • Driving Performance – Clear frameworks to measure results, align strategy, and scale impact.

  • AI-Powered Leadership – Practical ways to leverage AI for faster decisions, better insights, and less busywork.

Expect one actionable memo each week. Clear, practical, and ready to use the same day.

Why Listen to Me?

I’m Justin Bateh, PhD — former COO, CEO, LinkedIn Learning Instructor, and 8x award-winning educator.

Over the past two decades, I’ve:

  • Delivered 80+ projects with measurable business results.

  • Trained 25,000+ leaders at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Chevron, McKesson, Procter & Gamble, and Bank of America.

  • Advanced from Project Manager to COO — scaling teams and leading business-wide transformation initiatives.

  • Created the Project Execution Framework™, a 7-step method used by thousands of leaders to align teams and drive execution.

  • Been recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice, LinkedIn Top 200 Creator, and instructor to thousands worldwide.

Titles and certificates look nice on paper, but they don’t build high-impact teams or finish critical projects. Clear frameworks, practical tools, and execution that works on day one do. That’s what I deliver inside Tactical Memo.

What to Expect

  • Frequency: Two memos per week (short, clear, and actionable).

  • Style: Practical, contrarian at times, always field-tested.

  • Time Commitment: 5–7 minutes per read.

  • Format: Deep dives, frameworks, case studies, and playbooks you can apply immediately.

You’ll walk away each week with tactics that make you sharper in managing people, projects, and performance.

Who It’s For

  • Managers ready to step up and lead with clarity.

  • Directors & VPs seeking proven systems to align people and projects.

  • C-Suite Executives looking for smarter ways to scale and sustain performance.
