Often the frustrations we might feel about the poor job our employees or kids do is actually our fault for not training them well enough. We poorly set expectations and then expect them to meet the undefined expectations every time. Instead, SOPs can be a great tool in helping us set expectations and then ensure that they’re met every time, whether it be by employees or children.

It’s prompted a few thoughts for both motivating our employees as well as our kids. The research seems counterintuitive at first, but I think it makes sense to enabling our business teams and children to enjoy their work more and do it better than ever before.
