Many executives struggle with burnout, which is one cause of business failure. Fortunately, process documentation helps combat burnout by freeing up executive time and attention. Adi Klevit, an EO member in Portland, Oregon, and a business systems expert, shares her experience around how effective process documentation drives business growth: "After over 20 years as a business consultant, I have seen many examples where growing companies were in danger of stalling and even shrinking because they had not documented essential processes," she shared. "One founder told me he felt 'held hostage' by his employees because if anyone was out sick or left the company, there was no way to rapidly get someone else up to speed to complete their work. This threatened the company's growth trajectory." Read Adi's article on Inc. Magazine, to see the 10 areas in your business that process documentation can improve. https://lnkd.in/g5FkPdPF #EO #ThirstForLearning #ProcessDocumentation #BusinessGrowth

This is one of the issues we are trying to emphasise to our new & aspiring entrepreneurs in terms of maintaining well-balanced mental health while navigating all the trials and tribulations of the startup journey. Some of us can speak from personal experience whereby not doing things "the right way" from the start has had a negative impact on our businesses years and years later which we never could have imagined when we began our startup journey.
