Scenario: You are well‐versed in your field, feel confident in your work, are comfortable completing your daily tasks, and feel happy with the workings of your office. So while your office may lack a procedures manual, it may seem like creating one is an unnecessary task for such a well‐oiled machine. But then you get sick and need to take an extended leave of absence, leaving others to do tasks you usually perform yourself. Or a longtime staff member leaves, requiring you to hire and train a replacement.
