Learning from operations

Well for the last 2 days i have been having over 6 hours of meetings everyday. But this post is not about meetings but how to manage operations and what I have been learning while managing them now for the photography firm that we are running.

- Be in the position that you are the controller or at least one of the controller and not just an update taking guy

- Sit with everybody and run through the flow so that everybody know who is doing what

- Have daily small meetings to take updates of what everybody is working on

- Involve everyone by asking them idea and giving them space to participate

- If possible, also ask them to send a daily things worked on mail for update.

- Let everybody discuss their issues.

- Have backups ready for everybody and everything

Still in the process of learning and understanding all this. Don't know what all things work for running smooth operations.
