Dear
E-Myth Reader,
Frustrations with people are key problems for many business owners with whom our business coaches have worked. The core
issue is motivating employees to do what you want them to do, and to do it correctly.
Do What I Want
How can you get people to do what you want? Really, you can't. But you can adopt systems that generate results predictably,
and then assign people to run those systems. If something is going wrong, the E-Myth approach is to identify a problem with
the system, rather than a problem with the person running the system.
With effective systems running your business, you can get results from your people, every time.
A Simple System
Managers can use systems too, and a good one is a weekly, 30-minute "Employee Development" meeting between manager and
staff member. The manager sets an agenda, and the meeting becomes the venue for solving problems, resolving conflicts,
planning work and making agreements. This regular process helps employees to stay on track. There's more on how to
keep your people motivated in the blog post The People
Problem.
