Struggling to bridge the gap between your business strategy and your team's daily execution? In this episode of The Fix, host Derrick Mains sits down with Layla Pomper from Process Driven for a masterclass in operational efficiency.

They break down the critical difference between high-level process mapping and the daily "playbook" that makes a team actually work. If you've ever been frustrated by disorganization, missed deadlines, or employees who seem to have "no common sense," this conversation reveals the root cause and provides a clear path forward.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The "MapQuest" vs. "State Map" analogy for understanding Process Mapping (strategic) vs. Process Execution (tactical).
• Why the first 90 days of an employee's journey often kills their creativity and how to fix it.
• How to move from chaotic email chains to a structured work management system that everyone follows.
• The real reason managers are incentivized to create busywork and how to flip the script to reward efficiency.
• Practical steps to implement "habit optimization" for your team, moving from theory to daily practice.

If you're a business owner, COO, operations manager, or team leader tired of the friction between departments and the chaos of daily tasks, this episode is your guide to creating a cohesive, productive, and accountable organization.
