In this episode, I talk about how important it is to have a process in order to solve a problem. If there is no process in place, then you are responsible for the problem. And if there isn't a process, then it's your fault.

00:00:00.000 I had a sales guy, he sent the wrong link to a client.

00:00:02.300 It costs $100,000.

00:00:04.140 And he was just like beating himself up.

00:00:05.920 I was like, bro, send me your home address. 0.93

00:00:07.760 I'm gonna send you a bat so you can keep beating yourself up. 1.00

00:00:09.600 I'm like, are you done? 0.96

00:00:10.600 I know you feel horrible,

00:00:12.280 but was there a process for that sale that you made?

00:00:14.380 And he goes, no.

00:00:15.020 I said, then that's my fault.

00:00:16.320 In the future, you're gonna make that mistake again.

00:00:17.980 He goes, no.

00:00:18.420 So then it's a learn once.

00:00:19.620 That's a process problem.

00:00:20.940 Now, if I did have a process

00:00:22.800 and they didn't follow it properly,

00:00:24.140 it might be a training problem.

00:00:25.200 But if those things are true and it happens twice,

00:00:27.760 now I have a people problem.

00:00:28.920 If we're working together and something happens, I ask myself, is there a process that they followed and they either didn't follow or they followed it wrong?

00:00:36.000 If the answer is no, which 90% of the time there was no process, then I have to be accountable for that.
