Checklists are your Servant

If there's one thing I've seen new and younger supervisors neglect repeatedly is checklists.
I think inexperienced leaders see checklists as,

• Extra work
• Unnecessary because I know everything already
• Old fashioned
• The Enemy
• Somebody else's Idea

Time and Time again, when something is missed on Opening or Closing, such as Trash under chairs, dirty tower steps, Algae or an obvious safety hazard missed the answer you get is ' I told Ashley to do that or Robbie told me that he did it and it was clean.
I believe with all my heart that a well organised and effective checklist could have saved most of those missed items.
Checklists are your servant. Think of them as another worker reminding you and others of routine and specific tasks.Great Checklists,

• Plan
• Prioritize
• Assign
• Delegate
• Prepare
• Record
• Remind 

all of opening and closing duties.
Additionally checklists don't complain, call out, make mistakes or cost anything!
Why wouldn't you use them.
