Business Systems and The Myth of Common Sense

Follow Dave on LinkedIn

Raise your hand if this phrase has escaped your mouth in the last month: “Why don’t my employees get it? It’s just common sense!”

Sound familiar? I hear this complaint regularly. It seems like a famine of common sense is the bane of entrepreneurs worldwide.

So, how do you stop the hand-holding? What role do business systems play in making your sense “common”? Watch my short video to find out!

Action Steps:

  1. Document your business systems so employees can refer to the procedures you favor.
  2. Have your employees repeat the task or procedure to remember your system.
  3. Comment and inform us how YOU help people “get it.”

Principles:

  1. Common sense is only a set of individual life experiences.
  2. Business systems don’t really exist until documented.
  3. Workplace “common sense” can be created through repetition and training.
    4. Just winging it? Foolproof businesses need foolproof business systems. Dave can show you how to develop your systems to help you manage the chaos of modern worklife.
