E163 | The Art and Science of Building a Company Playbook for Business Success

Are you aware of the term “playbook” in business? What are some key elements that make a playbook valuable and essential for a business, regardless of its size? And what are the common mistakes businesses make when creating and maintaining their playbooks, and how can these be avoided?

In this episode of the Lean Out Your Business podcast, we dive into the importance of building an effective company playbook. Breaking down the buzzword "playbook," I shed light on how to create a playbook that truly drives results and success in business.

Drawing from my extensive experience in creating playbooks, I share valuable insights and lessons learned to ensure that your playbook doesn't collect digital dust but instead becomes a valuable asset for your team.

I also emphasize the importance of accessibility, setting expectations, and maintaining the playbook to keep it current and relevant.

I advocate for a single place to store all documents and templates, avoiding duplication to save time and reduce confusion.

Lastly, I highlight the concept of "less is more", focusing on the essential elements that truly guide and empower team members to effectively execute their roles and contribute to the company's success.
