It is not that hard!

I didn't want to be a micro-managing biatch, so I never made a checklist for my instructors at the studio for when they get in and before they leave.

After being open for less than 2 months, the a/c was left on twice, the a/c wasn't turned on once, the stereo and mic have been left on numerous times and I have about had it.

I just made up a check list for all of them to initial when they get in and before they leave.

They made me be that guy. :@

If you don't manage yourself.. someone else will.

I remind myself of this when I'm tempted to do something that would result in me being tossed in jail.

They lead me to this, so I am not going to feel bad when they see the checklist.

I also made it in all bright colors, bold letters and an annoying font.

I don't think of checklists as micro-managing. I think they are more of a gentle reminder, to put everyone on the same page, especially when they are coming down from the adrenaline of teaching a class, or coming in first thing in the morning with other things on their minds.

And for the A.C., would it be possible to look into a programable therrmosat? I know in my H's small office, this was a great money saver, due to people constantly forgetting to turn it on/off.

That doesn't sound bitchy to me!

[sitnspin]

Yeah, I am going to look into the programmable and see if that would work better.

Thanks GLW. I hate to be that guy to tell adults what to do.

It's obvious they are forgetful, having a list should benefit everyone and leave them without any excuses for forgetting these things next time!

[sitnspin]

Yeah, it is all good.

I don't think a checklist is micro-managing. It's a simple management tool. If you made them call you and tell you exactly what they did every open and every close, that would be micro-managing!
