When you set clear roles, everyone knows what is expected of them.

A company needs to be well organized for it to flourish, this includes the different duties for each job position to be well defined so members are participating where and when they are needed. Team members are more productive when their roles and duties are clearly defined. There is less effort wasted; there is less misunderstanding, disappointment, and frustration. When roles and duties are clearly defined, team members develop to see beyond their own specific positions and learn to appreciate, respect, and cherish one another’s unique contributions. It is critical for each team member to understand that the overall performance of the team is a result of shared accountability and ownership.

I have worked as an assistant manager for a company where the duties of each role were not clearly defined, as a result I ended up doing a lot of the managers work and absorbing some of the other employees work. Once I was promoted to manager I was able to collaborate with the new assistant manager to analyze and delegate tasks for the different roles. As a result the employees were able to streamline their tasks, and we were all able to go home earlier at the end of each day boosting employee morale.
