I’m currently managing a writer’s group.
I’m experimenting
with different processes,
finding a process that works.
While I’m testing,
I’m documenting.
Why?
Because I don’t want to manage
this writer’s group forever.
Documenting processes is key
for training replacements
or for delegating.
As Todd Nielsen states…
“If you have to explain something
to someone more than once,
then it probably needs
to be written down.
Want to be able
to empower your employees
with greater ability to get things done
without coming to you,
write processes.
A process can be
as simple as a checklist
or as complicated as
an ITIL compliant flowchart.
Even if you area 1-man shop,
you can start writing processes.
You cannot have scalability
and exponential growth
without a solid foundation of processes.”
Document your processes.
