In business if all else fails then go back to the basics! Michael Gerber's books 'E-Myth Mastery' and 'E-Myth Manager' say it all. Maintaining a successful business requires two elements - leadership and structure. Whilst you can have leadership without structure, without leadership there is very little of anything!
Structure - Ensure that every function in the business is 'owned' by someone! The old adage "If everyone is accountable then no-one is" applies in this case. Every aspect of the operation needs to have a name attached.
Role Clarity - Each role within the business needs to be clear and specific. The more specific the better chance of consistent results. Results within each role should also be measurable by the person fulfilling the role. Ken Blanchard [of One Minute Manager fame!] said "Most people don't know what good performance looks like"
Accountability - Within good structure and people being clear on their roles, accountability is vital. If people have been givenownership but are not able to make decisions then they become'paper tigers'. Remember that accountability without follow up is a recipe for disaster! Set people up for success and give them plenty of reminders.
There is no such thing as over-communicating or over-reminding.You can however definitely under communicate!
