Communicate the studio's goals and stick to them, or explain clearly why the previous goals were dropped in favor of new ones. Focus on leading the studio instead of micromanaging the current pet project.
The current pet project runs with chaotic urgency, inefficiently churning on its design and burning its team out. The established projects settle into lethargic "more of the same" patterns. Find a way to balance these things: more urgency for established products, more patience with the new.
We keep making the same mistakes, releasing unstable and uncertain designs to the public before changing them drastically. We need to be able to make decisions as a team instead of shrugging and seeing how the CEO's latest whim plays out. Our customers do not trust us, for good reason!
