it works, but it needs a discipline and a model to follow.
here is mine:
accounting firm business model
- delegating permits leveraging of work.
- leveraging creates opportunities for partners and staff.
- delegating signifies trust that what is needed to be done will be done the way it needs to be done by the due date.
- the firm’s system should create a method of training, supervision, oversight and confidence that the work will be done the way it needs to be done.
- the system establishes a structure to make it easier to delegate and manage.
- checklists are part of the system by making it easier to lay out what needs to be done and how and in what order.
- not following the system, including not using the checklists the right way, causes added work, time, supervision and stress, and destroys the business model.
- not following the system reduces profits, growth and opportunities.
