DELEGATION PLUS DAILY HUDDLES SOLVES 90% OF THE PROBLEMS
Fred used to be the equivalent of the only air traffic controller at the airport.
Everything that happened in that business, somebody had to ask him a question and he was being harangued by people morning, noon and night.
He was wondering why he couldn't get people to make decisions.
First of all, he trained them that anytime they had a question, go to Fred and he solves it, right?
Secondly, he was always in react mode. So he could never get away from work. Fred was really into bodybuilding and he couldn't get to the gym - which annoyed the hell out of him.
Now Fred has one 15 minute staff meeting every morning. There's eight people in the room, they all get managed at once. The entire plant knows what's going on and all the issues of the day are raised and addressed.
He also trained someone to be his number 2 - so that people can go to the second in command before they bother Fred.
Now Fred has time to spend with his family and get to the gym.
His plant is more productive, his employees are happier and the business is growing and profitable.
