If you use Asana, or are thinking of using it, the Board view allows you to implement Kanban. Asana use was pretty low before I started at my job, but once I introduced Board view + Kanban, adoption increased significantly.

A couple specific tips:

* Use a backlog/ideas/to do eventually column to store tasks whose time has not come. It's a great place to brain dump * Make tasks bite-sized with actionable titles. More tasks completed = more dopamine hits = higher adoption = better tracking * Review open tasks with your direct reports regularly. I do 1x/week
