Make it clear to your staff that you expect everyone to take responsibility for their own jobs, and then insist that they produce the desired results.

When employees fall short of the mark, identify what
must be accomplished and set a deadline for completion. Do everything in your power to remove roadblocks, but never lose sight of the underlying principle that completing the job is tne employees responsibility.

Offer support and training, and be available to answer questions, but don't let your staff off the hook. In order for the entire organization to succeed, everybody must fulfill their primary responsibilities.

Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy one to those who send him (Proverbs 10:26).

Scripture: Arise! For this matter is your responsibility, but we will be with you; be courageous and act (Ezra 10:4).
