# Embed RACI Cues in Daily Tools

**Do:** Integrate explicit RACI role designations into everyday operational tools — **performance-management guides, meeting-agenda templates, and Gantt charts** — as constant reminders of expected behavior.

**Why it works:** repeated cues build the muscle to move fluidly among roles and forget formal rank; it is the daily-tools half of [[concept-role-institutionalization]] and the repair for Mistake 4 in [[framework-four-mistakes]].

**Outcome:** teams develop the habit of tailoring roles to context (see [[quote-tailoring-roles]]).
