If I Ever -CEO

If I ever end up as a CEO for some major company.
Or even on the deciding board of directors or whatever the titles are. 
Where they decide on new policies and procedures and such that have to deal directly with the company and the business we're running.

I'm going to make sure I actually know what I'm talking about before I decide a change needs to be implemented.

You see at my work.
They implemented a new opening procedure.
That's completely idiotic. 

Because they want us to do the cage cleaning tasks LAST out of everything. 
Which....when the cage cleaning can take 2-4 hours to perform.
And the rest of the opening tasks take an two hours or so to do themselves....

You'd think that they'd want to get the 'messy' bit of the opening done first.
So that the cages would be clean when the customers come into the store.
And the customers wouldn't have to be picking their way around the mess we're making.

Yet, instead.
The people in charge of deciding procedures decided that we would be able to multitask.
Cleaning cages AND helping customers at the same time.

Which if you've ever tried multitasking at all....
It doesn't work. 

Tasks get drawn out much longer than they should.
Because you keep getting interrupted.
*shakes head*

I mean. 
It does make a little bit of sense.
To have the rest of the department opened. Animals Fed, Dead Fish pulled, Crickets swept out, etc. So that customers are presented with a clean set up (besides the bedding changes) 

But....
It just doesn't work.
Cage cleaning should be done first.
Because we can more easily step away from feeding animals, than from cleaning cages.
*shakes head*

So that's why...
If I ever get in a position where I can be in charge of coming up with procedures.
I'd actually want to go try it myself.
If I've never done something, how can I accurately judge if a new method will be effectual?

I'd also try the new method in more than one location.
Because I doubt that each store would be exactly the same size or have the same set up if it's been a long running company.
So I'd want to make sure that new procedures would work in all locations for all store sizes.
And if they didn't. I'd make adjustments. 

I'd ask people who actually work on location day in and day out their opinion.
And see where we could improve, or keep things as they are....

But that's just me.
If I get in a position where I can decide procedures.
I'm definitely taking on a more hands on approach. 
That's for sure.
