Steps to Better Barn Leadership

you will spend supervising staff.
Be fairminded as you ease your new staff into your regimen. Ensure that they understand what needs to be done and have the necessary tools clothing and equipment to carry out their tasks with confidence and without risk of injury. 
Just as you wouldnt ask a green offthetrack Thoroughbred to jump an oxer dont ask your new staff member to take on more than they are trained to do and have the ability to successfully accomplish. Set your employees up for success and help them learn their tasks inside and out with confidence in their ability to complete all facets of their jobs. For example if your feisty Warmblood stallion requires adept horsemanship skills to handle do not ask your newbie inexperienced employee to take on this responsibility. 
Ensure that there is a time schedule available for rotational staff shifts if they apply and that the daily chore list is checked off with the time it was completed and initialed by the person who handled it. This will minimize the time you spend checking on where in the schedule your help is currently working and what still needs to be done as well as being able to locate them if an urgent need arises or if they are out of cell service range.
A blackboard or similar highly visible signage at the barn entrance can alert employees to special needs that might have arisen during their absence such as a horse showing signs of colic or lameness or additional duties that need to be prioritized. Signs with feed times and amounts turnout schedules and special instructions should be posted on individual stall doors. Include the name of any equine companion the horse should or should not be pastured with and any special paddock selection needs e g. for stallions or maresfoals. This information can save time and mistakes when administering feed supplements hay types and quantities and address leg wrapping or medical needs that may be pertinent. If the barn has a designated feed room feeding notes can be duplicated there too adding an important doublecheck system in busy barns.
All bridles saddles and halters should be tagged to indicate the specific horses name to avoid errors tacking up. This will save wasted time refitting equipment when horses are handled. 
Hopefully each horse enjoys the important benefit of its own saddle professionally fitted for its individual needs a
bridle and bit that fit and work best for the particular horse and a halter that wont pull off over its head if it becomes fractious or excited during turnout and pulls back from the handler.
It can be difficult to manage the budget when running a horse business but investing in your staff is a key area that should not be overlooked.
Training your employees takes time and effort and even if they arent learning on the job you dont want them to be unable to dedicate the necessary time and effort to your work because they have to run between multiple employment places in order to earn a decent living.
Its not fair to expect free help after hours for no additional pay. Extra payment for overtime does not have to be monetary it can be a training lesson or a paid clinic riding slot or extra time off. Whatever the hours the pay and the terms of employment should always be agreed to and in writing.
