12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business : Step Three: Organise your Staff and Create a Strategy
Step two dealt with the creation of a good clear assignment. Now, I want to speak about how to respond to a clear assignment, once you have created one. You do this by organising your staff and creating a strategy. What I mean by organising your staff is the creation of a core team. This team will be responsible for the implementation process in your business. If you have a small staff number in your particular business then you can do one of two things, make your entire staff the core team or select one person who will "champion" the process.

Delegate to Significantly Increase Your Success
Delegation refers to the assignment of responsibility to another person in order for that one to carry out a chosen project. It allows staff members to develop their skills to full potential and entrusts authority to someone else. You are giving that person the right to act independently, under the power of your name and your firm. You are held responsible in delegation because you are recommending this subordinate as a capable leader. The staff member has the right to react to situations, making his or her own decisions, and not being required to report back to you for verification or advice.

Coaching Careless Staff
Managing careless staff can be very frustrating for both the manager and the team particularly if the staff member appears not to care about how their performance is affecting others. Here is how you can use a coaching approach to get staff to focus on fixing the problem themselves.
Coaching Passive/Aggressive staff
If you have staff on your team who aren't responding to you it may be because they are getting some benefit from it. These staff are often called Passive Aggressive staff. They may seem quiet perhaps sullen but they can be quite manipulative and quietly aggressive in getting their own way. Here's how a coach might handle them.

Who Cares about Work-Life Balance?
Whether you manage one person, or lead an organization with thousands of employees, supporting your staff to create a better work-life balance makes sense and cents. When people you work with feel you respect their work-life balance and allow them some autonomy in their choices, they will feel more valued, more engaged, and more committed to the organization. You can make a difference in your employees work-life balance by giving them support and tools to make choices that fit with each person’s individual work-life preferences. Keeping your staff satisfied keeps them working well and working for you.
The Significance of Your Company Culture
Company culture is the spirit, attitude and character of its people put together. Although products or services are the backbone of business, the working culture of staff and its management matter. A happy staff is a productive staff.
