📩 Dear Lisa,
My company is growing fast, and suddenly, I find myself in a role I didn’t ask for—but one I know we desperately need. I’ve been told I’m the Process Champion, but what does that actually mean? Am I supposed to be the person writing every SOP? Policing every workflow? Convincing a team of reluctant colleagues that process won’t slow them down?
I don’t want to become the "process police." How do I embrace this role in a way that actually helps my company scale—without turning everyone against me?
Sincerely,
Organized, But Overwhelmed

Use checklists, not lengthy SOPs. ✔ Followed by All – Processes should make work easier, not harder. ✔ Continuously Improved – They evolve as your company scales.
