ANECDOTE

From DIY To Professionalized Series

  • Joan used Lifehack Tribe to professionalize her chamber music series and hire a manager.
  • That change led to a big raise but made the role feel more like administration than her artistic passion.
ADVICE

Start With High-Level Transfer

  • Start succession documentation at a high level with top lessons before detailing SOPs.
  • A high-level boil down helps a successor infer details while the reverse rarely works.
INSIGHT

Stakeholder Knowledge Trumps Micromanagement

  • The real handoff value is knowledge about stakeholders and relationships rather than procedural minutiae.
  • Those interpersonal rules often matter far more than detailed step-by-step SOPs.
