In today’s episode of The Rutledge Perspective, we’re going to be talking about guidelines & guardrails vs borderlines and why this is important to you as a leader or business owner.
Boundaries are impenetrable lines. Examples of boundaries are fences and walls. This boils down to what’s allowed and what’s not allowed.
A guideline is something put in place for people to follow. These guidelines should align with the culture that you’ve established or the business that you’re doing.
Guardrails are upper and lower control limits placed on a given process. Guardrails are the places in which people have complete freedom to operate, exercise creativity, grow their leadership skills, bring in their perspectives, and launch plans to execute the goals that have been set.
The information in this show is critical because as you get more comfortable with setting guardrails your ability to lead, develop new leaders, get things done, and be innovative will grow exponentially. Check it out!

Examine your team. Are you constantly getting pushed to answer questions and make a lot of decisions? If so, you need to evaluate your process to determine if you are setting clear expectations and it may also be time to decide to start setting up guardrails so that they have the freedom to operate. Also, make sure that your people know without question that you are going to coach them and train them to help them move into the roles and genius that they want to move into.
