## The Right Things Guide

### What are you doing brilliantly — that shouldn't be done at all?

Most teams can point straight at the work that doesn't really matter. The friction isn't awareness. It's the bravery to act on it.

The free Right Things guide gives you a framework for finding your bicycle for fish — and a worksheet to help you do something about it.

**What's inside**

- The line-of-sight test — how to tell busyness from business
- The Find / Focus / Fix framework for Right Things friction
- The Can You Draw the Line? worksheet

## The Right People Guide

### Have you done everything you can — before you decide it's them?

When someone isn't delivering, the instinct is to question their attitude. It's almost always the last thing to look at, not the first.

The free Right People guide walks you through the four reasons people underperform — and who owns each one. Most of the time, the gap is sitting somewhere you control.

**What's inside**

- The four reasons people underperform — and where the line sits between yours to close and theirs to own
- The Find / Focus / Fix framework for Right People friction
- The Check worksheet — one person, four reasons, three honest questions

[![Right Way Guide](https://www.clearthefriction.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Right%20Way%20Guide.png?width=200&height=283&name=Right%20Way%20Guide.png "Right Way Guide")](https://www.clearthefriction.co.uk/hubfs/Right%20Way%20Guide.pdf?hsLang=en-gb)

## The Right Way Guide

### Does your business work without you in the room?

If the answer depends on who’s in that day, you have a Right Way problem. It’s manageable when you’re small. It gets expensive as you grow.

The free Right Way guide shows you where to look first — and includes a worksheet to map your most important processes as they actually work right now.

**What’s inside**

- The five signs of Right Way friction — and what they’re really telling you
- The Find / Focus / Fix framework applied to method and consistency
- The Three-Column Check worksheet

[![Right Time Guide](https://www.clearthefriction.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Right%20Time%20Guide.png?width=200&height=283&name=Right%20Time%20Guide.png "Right Time Guide")](https://www.clearthefriction.co.uk/hubfs/Right%20Time%20Guide-1.pdf?hsLang=en-gb)

## The Right Time Guide

### Is the most important work getting your team's best hours?

In most businesses, the answer is no. The reactive work wins — not because anyone chose it, but because the system is set up that way.

The free Right Time guide helps you see where your team's best time is actually going — and includes a worksheet to measure your Reactive Tax.

**What's inside**

- The five signs your business has a Right Time problem
- The Find / Focus / Fix framework for time and prioritisation
- The Reactive Tax worksheet — a two-step time audit
