When assigning tasks, it's essential to reference the job description, roles, responsibilities, and authority, as well as the relevant procedures owned by the process owner. This is necessary to establish clear metrics and standards for measurement. Regular reviews of these tasks are crucial to prevent employees from feeling overwhelmed by additional responsibilities.
Sometimes, it may be necessary to adjust targets, such as reducing waste by 2% of a construction project valued at 1 million. However, aiming for a 2% reduction in waste for a construction project worth 1 billion may be unrealistic. Therefore, it's logical to consider lowering the target to 1% or even less in such cases.
Always take into account the specific industry you're involved in. I've witnessed many practitioners make the mistake of setting excessively high expectations, leading to high employee turnover.
Therefore, it's important to stay vigilant and open-minded. Conduct thorough research on any unfamiliar industry you encounter. Avoid generalizations or assuming that the same approach applies across all industries, as assumptions can have serious consequences.
