What do you have to do to insure that your business is running at it's peak performance?  You have to consistently check in on it's health.

On this episode of Disruptance, Eric Forney and Michael Bounds talk about the importance of auditing your business, and all the angles you should take when auditing it.  They discuss the necessity of auditing your people, including yourself, because as you change, there may be tasks that you aren't best suited for, and you might be able to get more done if you find someone who is great at those tasks.  They talk about how important it is to simplify processes to explain to your team, and that they should be able to be understood by a six year old if they are going to be effective processes.  They discuss how meetings should be audited as well, and how learning whether something needs to be a meeting or a memo is a valuable time saver and helps other people feel like you respect their time.  Ultimately, they decide one of the most valuable things is to be crystal clear on the mission and direction of your company.
