To make things easier for manual laborers, it means more thought-work has gone into the business. To maintain an edge in innovation and forward-looking flexibility, you don’t need to work harder physically, you need to work harder mentally. We must be more thoughtful and willing to explore ideas than do the manual lifting work when the goal is to elevate the company.
Your job at the top is to send the workers to where they can be most effective for the company and are most effective based on their skill set.
It sounds easy, but that's only if you haven't done it before. to save work for the lower level laborers requires immense work at the top level to innovate and install the systems that ensure success for the boots on the ground.
