38: What NOT to Do to Your Team When Clockworking

Feb 12, 2020

The definition of “clockworking” is to design a business + team that runs itself. In order to do that, as the business owner, you need to empower your team to take responsibility for the outcome and anonymity in their decision-making.

 

On this episode of the Run Like Clockwork Podcast, Erica + Emily discuss 4 things to NOT to do to your team when clockworking your business:

 

What NOT to do:

1. Insert yourself into things you’ve already removed yourself from.
2. Believe that you are the only one that’s capable of doing the job the best.
3. Don’t completely disengage from the team
4. Expect your team to read your mind. 

 

What TO DO: 

1. Share the vision for team buy-in. 
2. When you communicate the WHY, give context to the what. 
3. Know & communicate what a WIN looks like. 
4. Get your team input on the process. 
5. Delegate the outcome, not the exact process you’ve always done things.
