Main Takeaways:

Align with your team about what you're creating.
Convey the “why” to get understanding and commitment.
Identify where exactly your systems apply. Be very specific.
Define when your systems should be activated and followed.
Assign responsibilities clearly so everyone knows who does what.
Determine how your system will be applied with clear, specific steps.
Document your systems. If they aren’t written down, then they don’t exist.
Do this process together as a team. Get their weigh-in so that you get buy-in.
Constantly revisit, review, and revise your systems. Don't just set it and forget it.
