A recent change in my workflow was to use direct language in task management and enforce assignments. Instead of „We should“, „Our team needs to“ I ask for volunteers and/or assign tasks to individuals. This avoids a bystander effect and helps me and my teammates to focus on the given tasks.

YES! When it comes to executing work we need to be direct. It sounds like this approach has been going well for you so far, congrats!
