The key components to getting your staff running the business for you
Like a puzzle, your business is nothing if not organized and with all the pieces in place.
A great product, wonderful services and a beautiful atmosphere is not enough to run your business.

Take your staff input and create a job description based on what they do and what you need them to do
Or, refine existing job descriptions based on what they do

Tell them they have 2-3 days to review their descriptions and add to it. This is their time to make changes.

II.ChooseGreatManagement
ElectManagers
Employees spend so much time giving themselves that it is important that they feel they are getting that from their boss
Elect managers who you are comfortable with
Look for people who see the big vision and company goals
Choose someone who is not ultra sensitive to direct or tough communication
A manager is a great way to diffuse a situation before it comes to you
Elect 1 manager to every 5-10 employees
