Season 1, Episode 41, Nov 18, 2022, 06:43 PM
Gino Wickman discusses the eighth critical mistake entrepreneurs make, not crystallizing roles and responsibilities.
This can present itself in many businesses, especially in the startup phase. You start a business and need a body. Instead of hiring somebody for the specific role, you seek out friends and family members that are readily available to help. When this happens, everybody is trying to help each other with everything instead of being extremely focused and productive with their major role and tasks.
To avoid people tripping over each other and creating chaos, each one of your people—including yourself—must know exactly what they are accountable for. That means having a coherent organization chart in place (even if you only have one employee), so that the right hand always knows what the left hand is doing. You must make it abundantly clear to each of your people exactly what you expect of them.
