Ever feel like you're constantly asking, "Why isn't my team meeting my expectations?" You're not alone. Let's dive into a game-changing principle that could transform your team management: You get what you INSPECT, not what you expect.
The Inspection Principle: Why Expectations Aren't Enough
Think you can train your team once and expect perfection forever? Think again! Even with a dream team, things can go off track. Here's why:- Role outgrowth: Team members may outgrow their positions
- Process disagreements: They might think they're improving (you might disagree)
- Personal distractions: Life happens, affecting focus
- Training misunderstandings: Initial instructions might not have stuck
- Outdated SOPs: Your processes may need updating
- Communication gaps: Unanswered questions lead to assumptions
The "Walking Around the Office" Approach
Someone needs to be virtually "walking around the office" daily, checking on both the team and their work. But here's the kicker - as your business scales beyond 6-figures, that someone shouldn't be you.
Why CEOs Shouldn't Be the Daily Inspectors
- Time constraints: Your focus should be on high-level strategy
- Scalability issues: You can't be everywhere at once
- Opportunity cost: Every minute spent inspecting is a minute not spent growing
