The 5 Minute Rule goes into affect at the end of 5 minutes of attempting to solve a work problem/roadblock/issue, as the 5 minutes run down, the individual working on the problem/roadblock/issue is required to take it to the next level of expertise... peer, manager, VP, etc. The 5 Minute Rule promotes education, team work, responsibility and engagement. Individuals sitting on business problems/roadblocks/issues for long periods of time without the personal expertise to totally solve the problem is rampant in organizations, wasting time, funds and frustrating employees and management. The 5 Minute Rule, engages the readily available resources for solving problems quickly. Approaching all problems/roadblocks/issues as organizational assignments, creates engagement. 5 Minute Rule: I limit the amount of time any individual in my group can spend on a problem/roadblock/issue to 5 minutes, before asking for help.
