1
leadership is just like this elevator everybody wants the top floor office nobody wants to be in the lobby
2
and that's exactly why you might be stuck between floors right now watching people less talented than you win more
3
so today we're starting from the bottom
4
because leadership is not a soft skill it's the skill it sets the ceiling on your income your business
5
and your entire life because the reality is none of you are getting rich alone
6
if you think otherwise you might as well get off the video now i've built three nine -figure companies
7
and the people who stay stuck aren't the least talented ones
8
in the building they just never learn what the next floor
9
costs this is the leadership elevator floor by floor this is
10
going to show you you don't have to work harder you
11
just have to be smarter all right first level lobby what
12
a winner actually does before you can get into the elevator there's a lobby full of leadership lies
13
and it's why most people spend their careers on the ground floor working harder
14
and becoming the most exhausted employee in their company the lie
15
that is the first
16
and foremost in my mind is a really hard one as
17
a leader you should be liked here's an underrated quality of awful leaders
18
which is they try to please everyone
19
and lead by committee approval guys is a drug
20
and leaders get addicted to it
21
and then they become mascots what legendary designer uh johnny ive
22
asked steve jobs way back in the day was steve jobs
23
he asked him to be less harsh with the team
24
and jobs looked at him and the story is
25
so good jobs's response instead to ives was why do you care
26
and he said well because i care about my team
27
and i don't think it's good for them
28
and he said no you don't you're being vain you want
29
them to like you i thought you wanted to create the
30
best products in the world i thought you wanted to create incredible leaders
31
and humans who are going to be better
32
because you work hard on them you aren't and
33
so i've realized he was pissed at the time
34
but he realized he wasn't protecting his people he was selfishly protecting his need to be liked
35
and you know i've later admitted god jobs was right he
36
actually admitted it at jobs funeral real leaders say the truth
37
even though it is hard your job is not to be
38
liked it is to be trusted the second lie is
39
that leadership is a democracy sorry guys your company is not a group project
40
so stop putting every hard decision up for a vote in
41
2008 for instance howard schultz shut roughly 7 100 company operated starbucks stores for an evening
42
and he actually retrained all 135 000 baristas now he knew it would cause sales to fall
43
and create some chaos but he did it anyways
44
because starbucks had in that time now not
45
so much scaled this entire business because of this idea of incredible baristas
46
so schultz didn't ask the company to vote on whether it
47
needed to do this he prescribed it committees well they basically
48
sand every sharp edge off until your answer is just safe agreeable
49
and completely useless take input from everyone but take orders from no one
50
and lie three the leader should save everyone
51
so i call this the office firefighter and basically you look like a hero
52
but you quietly create a company full of arsonists you rescue
53
the deadline calm the furious customer rewrite the terrible deck at midnight
54
and yeah you feel good you feel like a hero
55
but it's actually your training so you're teaching everyone around you
56
that they can fail because mommy
57
or daddy will just clean it up i think micromanaging means you hired wrong
58
or you led wrong every fire you personally extinguish is a fire your people never learn to prevent so
59
if everything needs you you are not actually indispensable you're what
60
we call the bottleneck now lie four your team is your
61
family this one kills me please for the love of all
62
its holy stop calling your company a family families don't have performance reviews they don't track quarterly kpis
63
and they don't fire grandma
64
because she missed a quota you know payroll is not actually
65
same thing as blood right you can care about your people protect them pay them well
66
and still decide they cannot stay in the role and
67
that is betrayal if it is a family
68
but it's not a family it's a high performing team
69
and i think calling everyone family turns this like accountability then into what you know family breakups
70
that allows weak performers to stay great performers then carry them
71
and resentment is going to eat your company alive no one should ever be surprised
72
when you fire them if someone is shocked
73
when you fire them you failed long before they did care hard tell the truth faster even
74
when it sucks and don't confuse being loyal with permanent employment i swear most new leaders
75
and even people who've been leading for a long time suck at this
76
and it's the reason why you won't make more money
77
and oddly it is the reason why people won't like you makes no sense right
78
but actually if you call people family if you try to please everybody if you try to be everybody's buddy, you become two -faced because that won't work in business.
79
And at least if you're hard, they know that you're honest.
80
Lie five, the leader shouldn't work the hardest.
81
Being the hardest worker in the company, that's not you lead it.
82
This is how you actually burn out as a CEO.
83
And think about this for a second.
84
If you burn out as the person in charge, your entire your business burns down.
85
I think what people think a CEO's job is, it's like be available, answer fast, know more than anyone else.
86
That's not true.
87
What is it actually?
88
Hire people better than you, build clear standards for them, get out of their way.
89
The unhinged hours can get you from zero to one and you probably have to do it to do that.
90
Like there's kind of no other way.
91
And you kind of keep doing all five jobs from one to a hundred.
92
Well, that's not going to work.
93
You won't scale.
94
Like you just sweating all the time is not a system.
95
That is actually just using your horsepower.
96
And it means you're being needed for every decision because you think it's a flex, it's not.
97
It's actually evidence that you failed to build anyone who can do the job almost just as well as you can.
98
And the best leaders, they fire themselves from as many roles as possible.
99
So at some point, this, you know, hey, I'm doing everything stops being the truth.
100
And instead, the thing that's cool about your business is how much it wins without you.
101
And that test starts the instant you hand one important result to another person.
102
floor number one is all about giving instructions
103
that don't immediately bounce back to you
104
so it starts the first time you delegate something
105
and get back a steaming pile of technically it is exactly what you asked for
106
but you wish it wasn't and your first instinct
107
if you're like me is like it i'll do it myself
108
but you just doubled your work
109
and then you realized you're actually undoing their work i did this for years
110
so i had a company full of smart people who wouldn't
111
move an inch without asking what do you think you know our president called it a stable of assistants
112
which is kind of funny and then i would blame them
113
but the real problem was me i'd hand someone a fuzzy thought
114
and then expect them to read my mind and get pissed
115
when their work didn't match the finished project i had imagined
116
but never explained so micromanaging means you either hired the wrong person
117
or you're leading wrong and like let
118
that sink in for a second the fix to this is just one simple tool
119
that changed how i run my companies it's called smart
120
and smart basically means that the way you instruct people falls into five categories
121
so when someone gives me an instruction
122
that isn't according to the smart rules I hand it back
123
because decoding a lazy ask should not actually be your job
124
and there's a lot of research that backs this up
125
so lock and Latham basically took 35 years of goal studying studies to find
126
that challenging goals consistently beat big ones like do your best as long as people had commitment feedback
127
and actually knew what they were performing on
128
so the first part of smart is specific and
129
that means a clear deliverable improve our marketing well like how there's 452 million ways to do
130
that as opposed to create a three email sequence for customers
131
who abandon checkout that's really specific measurable is the next one
132
which means an objective test hey what's the number of emails here it was three, the response you want for customers who,
133
the metric that proved it works, more abandoned carts get filled and closed.
134
Next, we've got achievable.
135
And achievable means they already have the time, resources, skills, and authority to deliver them.
136
So if you give someone responsibility and they don't have any authority, for instance, you may hand them blame for decisions they actually couldn't make.
137
An example of this would be telling your assistant they need
138
to increase your sales goals by talking to the sales team
139
well that's not really in her purview she can't have any influence over
140
that next it's relevant
141
so relevant connects the work to a real priority at contrarian
142
thinking for instance we run something called customer success tuesday
143
so the whole team hears real wins from our members like this person who just closed on their first business
144
or this person who finally hired their virtual assistant or this person
145
that their business grew triple digits so
146
when the work starts to feel like just a list of tasks then people actually stop caring as much
147
when you can make it relevant to them they can see the human on the end of it
148
and lastly it's time bound
149
which means you need an exact deadline this is like i swear you guys
150
if you check
151
and see how often you do this you're going to be
152
shocked by how often you don't everybody thinks they're a good communicator
153
and i'm a pretty good communicator and i mess this up all the time
154
if you use the word soon that means nothing end of the week Okay, that could be fine, but what time?
155
What date?
156
Another person might think end of the week is Friday.
157
Another person might think that's Sunday night.
158
There's a new path to wealth.
159
Small business.
160
The side hustle that grows with you.
161
From window cleaning, to flower shops, to car washes.
162
Read Own or Be Owned, apply the lessons, and watch it grow.
163
Results not guaranteed.
164
No purchase necessary for the Own or Be Owned book launch.
165
Floor number two is all about communicating like a leader here's a hard truth.
166
You don't need a title, you need a spine.
167
Leaders control the fucking frame.
168
Soft leaders are usually followers.
169
They're sheep.
170
They let whoever's loud and annoying define the problem.
171
They let meetings wander.
172
That's the number one sign of a bad leader.
173
And they leave with 12 opinions, but no decisions.
174
Real leaders are kind of tough, but they decide what matters.
175
They're going to force you to have a conversation about it and then tell everyone what happens next.
176
I have a belief that in leadership, whoever controls the frame controls the debate.
177
Now, this isn't about dominating people.
178
It's about refusing to let the first person who speaks define the problem fully.
179
Someone says, we need to hire three more people.
180
A weak leader starts debating headcount and budgets.
181
A strong leader says, we were actually talking about a problem with capacity.
182
We're not sure yet that the solution to capacity is a headcount problem.
183
We have 14 priorities.
184
Nobody knows which three matter.
185
Before we add people, we've actually got to make sure that that is the real solution to this problem.
186
So the first frame asks, can we afford more people? the better frame asks why does
187
the current team have too much low value work why is
188
there a capacity restraint you do not want to fight inside
189
somebody else's frame this is a great lesson for life
190
so here's what you want to say instead i think that's a separate problem let's back channel
191
that for a second or let's hold
192
that to the side this is the real problem today this is first principles
193
and you're going to drag the room back to what actually matters next
194
when you communicate as a leader i call it speaking in
195
headlines speak in headlines start with the point not the preamble So have you guys ever experienced this?
196
Like you're in a meeting, people give you six minutes of background, three disclaimers, two apologies before they even talk about anything.
197
That is a nightmare.
198
There's nothing worse as an employee than having a poor leader as a communicator that rambles.
199
This is how we get taken hostage by our own company.
200
And it's how your employees feel sometimes too.
201
So stop the apology, kill the backstory, just say the damn thing.
202
I call this cutting words, adding weight.
203
So a weak version might be something like, I've been looking through the reports and i'm not totally sure
204
but maybe onboarding is causing churn so maybe we should talk to more customers
205
and we should figure out the solution to the problem instead
206
a strong version cut words add weight is churn increased this
207
month maya is going to interview 10 cancelled customers by thursday present the top three causes friday
208
and recommend a fix the first asks the room for i don't know emotional permission
209
and the second gives it a priority and an owner
210
and a deadline and we like those i think the other thing
211
that most owners do that they don't realize or most bad leaders do
212
that they don't realize is they talk too fast they rush through some of this instead of cutting words
213
and adding weight they're they're sounding anxious not authoritative and
214
so we call this being a gravity focused leader
215
so stop machine gunning words like the meeting room is on
216
fire make the point then shut up don't be long and went long -winded just because you can but take a pause.
217
Most people destroy their strongest sentence by panicking and adding five weaker ones.
218
You know, you might say like, we all know we're avoiding the real problem.
219
Pause.
220
The first person who rushes to fill the silence, that's usually exactly where the problem is.
221
So after being really grave and non -anxious, I want you to also think about calm.
222
So typically, who do you follow in a crisis?
223
Do you follow the one that's like fire, starts running around?
224
No. You follow the person whose nervous system isn't actually shitting the bed.
225
People trust leaders who seem unshakable.
226
I like to think about this as like, your job as a leader is to not look like you're freaking out
227
while you're actually freaking out because everybody else is freaking out around you.
228
But you know your one job as a leader is not to freak out.
229
So your job is to seem unshakable.
230
Certainty is contagious.
231
If you're panicking, that's going to spread.
232
If you're calm, that's going to spread.
233
So choose which one you want multiplying through the company or through your teams.
234
I think, you know, the line that people hate that I get so much crap for on the internet, you guys can tell me what you think.
235
There is no crying in business.
236
Do not cry in meetings when things are going sideways.
237
Do not show that type of emotional non -regulation.
238
It's not that you can't cry at all.
239
Go home and cry in the shower like an adult.
240
Cry later, vent privately.
241
When the building is burning though, your team doesn't need to watch the fire chief collapse, right?
242
That sucks, I'm sorry, that's the job as leader.
243
Now, if you're an employee and you don't aspire to leadership, cry all you want totally fine
244
but nobody's gonna put you in charge of hard things
245
if you're crying all the time and this is not popular
246
and people will lie to you on the internet about this
247
they will lie to you you will make less money
248
if you cry period
249
and business end of story not gonna happen it's not okay it's not you letting your feelings out
250
and because you're more empathetic maybe you are all those things it doesn't matter i hate to tell you this
251
but i wish that somebody would tell me the unpopular truth
252
which is calm doesn't mean you don't feel it
253
and authority doesn't mean
254
that you're screaming at people it means i'm emotionally regulating myself
255
right now i'm not going to push all of my emotions onto somebody else i'm going to stay useful
256
when everyone else is losing their next i want you to obsess on one word action like every important conversation
257
that you have should end with three things a decision knowner
258
and a date actually my chief of staff azad is incredible at this i left a meeting yesterday without getting
259
that which is a little bit unlike me
260
but uh you're gonna do this too
261
and he literally goes wait a second can everybody please stay cody you know you can leave
262
but who is in charge of these what are the deliverables
263
and what date are they due by
264
if it ends with great job everybody well god you're wasting
265
their time your employees don't need somebody to waste their time
266
they need somebody who's going to help them get a clear action
267
so they can actually work less on the things that they want more to get better and get paid more for it.
268
So always try to finish with a clear action.
269
Influence without direction, that's just you being noisy and doing a power play.
270
So don't leave it open -ended.
271
Say, I think the summary here is we're choosing option two, which means Sarah's going to own it.
272
The first version is due by Thursday at three and we review it Friday morning.
273
Is that right, everybody?
274
Yes, no, maybe so.
275
Then you put it in writing, you put it in your to -do list.
276
There's no mystery, there's no plausible deniability, and no one thought somebody else had it this is how you lead from below you also stop wasting
277
and dumping unsorted problems onto your boss like a wet bag
278
of garbage i know employees bosses suck plenty of them are terrible it's really hard to be a boss
279
so maybe give your boss a little bit of credit takes
280
way more than anybody thinks to actually be able to lead a full team
281
and by the way when you're in charge people don't listen to you all the time even
282
if you pay them it's a very funny thing so
283
if you want to actually get paid more
284
and become a better boss for
285
if you want to run your own things one day then
286
when you bring them a problem bring them the options your recommendation
287
and the risk of following it
288
so don't say huge problem what do we do say here's
289
what i think we should do here's why here's what's happening
290
that's how you earn authority before you have to be the one
291
that actually pays for payroll let's talk about ownership really quick
292
when you're wrong don't hide behind i don't know i don't know who did
293
that just say i made the call i underestimated the risk
294
we're going to change the plan sarah owns the correction but i own the review of it by Friday, that's going to be on me whether that falls or not.
295
You're never going to be a good leader without accepting ultimate ownership.
296
And actually, a friend of ours, Jocko Willing, has an entire book about extreme ownership.
297
Even when a problem is not of your creation, own it.
298
Be like, that is my fault.
299
You're right.
300
Yeah, I wasn't the one that wrote the script that was bad.
301
Yeah, I wasn't the one that didn't have this fully outlined.
302
Oh yeah, they did tell me this.
303
No, no, don't tell me any of that.
304
That tells me you're not really a leader, you're a manager you know what you should do instead shoot i told you this
305
and it was that that is on me i'll do everything i can to not have
306
that happen again people will forgive your bad decisions what they
307
stop forgiving is watching a leader bend reality to protect their
308
ego by the way they already know what's going on anyway most leaders who have gotten there after a
309
while pre -smart and this floor it does still have a ceiling you can only communicate
310
so well with the wrong people so sometimes the problem isn't your voice
311
or you taking ownership it's the other people in the room
312
and so floor three is how you hire a players who don't just understand the standard they raise it.
313
So floor three is all about hiring people who lays the ceiling for everybody.
314
So in this instance, I like to think about four sections.
315
Let's start with define.
316
If we want to find other A players to do things with us, whether these are co -founders, colleagues, people to rely on,
317
it starts with defining even what an A player is.
318
So the best people are obsessed with the result.
319
You know, it's just really hard to beat somebody who is doing the thing that you call work and they call fun.
320
So if they're not obsessed with the game, one, that probably means that they aren't able to see the levels of the game.
321
Like business, whether I'm selling laundromats, whether I'm selling baseballs, whether I'm talking to you on YouTube is all the same game.
322
And so a lot of times, if you don't like something, it's because you don't actually realize the game you're playing and what it's leading to next.
323
So it doesn't mean you're burnt out.
324
It actually means exceptional outcomes require periods of intense
325
or maybe exceptional intensity a player is not someone with a
326
polished resume who interviews well here's what it is it's they
327
have a history of winning they create momentum without permission
328
and they raise the performance of everyone around them we call these bar raisers
329
so they actually walk into chaos
330
and they kind of like it they bring some recommendations
331
when there are problems because problems just spell profit in business
332
So if you have to supply all the urgency and judgment and they're not bringing any of that, you didn't hire an A player.
333
You hired basically somebody else who will do tasks for you.
334
The second is protect.
335
Here I want you to protect the standard.
336
And what do I mean by that?
337
An A player cannot survive inside a B player culture
338
because performance is contagious and A players don't want to be around B players.
339
So there's a ton of research that shows if you sit near a top performer, you're about 15 % more likely to perform well but
340
if you sit next to an underperformer you're 30 more likely to underperform
341
so your a players actually notice who gets promoted rewarded
342
and who gets allowed to do half -ass work how annoying is
343
that do you guys ever have a boss and there's
344
that one person that everybody's carrying all the time that's why a players will leave
345
so protect your a players okay next we've got filter for evidence
346
so how do we filter for evidence actually can i steal
347
that hiring matrix let me show you guys something live thanks this is actually the process of how we hire
348
and if you want this you can click the link below we actually will give it to you for free
349
so most hiring mistakes begin when a leader gets tired of searching
350
and they just like meet somebody kind of charming
351
and you know they'll hire somebody
352
but i've realized you don't actually have a hiring problem you have a filtering problem
353
and that's why i use this hiring matrix every single time
354
inside the hiring matrix are a bunch of different things
355
but the most important thing is an actual matrix that takes you through five categories.
356
The first one is called known candidate.
357
So someone on your team have they worked with them they
358
have a referral to them a warm reference beats a cold
359
resume every single time two proven experience have they done the
360
exact job before adjacent experience not the same thing then we've
361
got proven industry do they understand the market's customers margins constraints specificity
362
because every industry has really expensive unwritten rules and sometimes
363
when you get somebody who hasn't done the industry before it's
364
like uh it's like having a different type of species inside of the zoo.
365
Proven problem set.
366
Have they solved the specific problem I need to solve?
367
So the same title can hide actually a totally different battlefield.
368
Like what would I mean by that?
369
You hire somebody from Google who is a hyper growth venture capital business
370
and you are a startup that is actually kind of struggling.
371
You're like failing.
372
You're not growing very fast.
373
You need somebody to reverse growth as opposed to this candidate is really good continuing growth
374
or being able to manage through growth.
375
Two different things then proven scale would be like your company
376
has 10 people this person was at google well have they
377
wanted the size we were trying to reach a corporate exec
378
with unlimited resources can drown inside a 10 -person company
379
and in fact mostly they do so in the hiring matrix
380
which you can download uh every single candidate is going to
381
get this score right five out of five for all of them that's a 25 great we're hiring
382
that bad boy that's 100 anybody below 18 out of 25 i'm probably not going to hire.
383
And the reason why I like this is because
384
when your team hands you this or when you hand it to your team, it helps you make sure that that urgency, exhaustion, and just like, oh my god,
385
get somebody in here, doesn't become the hiring criteria.
386
This is really, really important.
387
And lastly, I want to talk about building a real pool or a bench.
388
Most companies interview five applicants and hire the least bad one.
389
That is not actually how you recruit.
390
The best person is probably already winning for somebody else
391
so you want a little secret hack find the companies solving
392
your problem well then find the humans inside of them who are responsible for
393
that and then steal those uh i do this by something called the 50 to 1 rule
394
so for every 50 profiles you're going to interview 10 of them sometimes 20
395
and then you're going to make one offer based on
396
that i also like to require work samples use small paid projects will pay people to do the work
397
and call people who have watched the candidate perform not the ones
398
that are written on their resume and
399
if you're not hiring yet run the matrix on yourself for the role you want next
400
and your lowest score is going to show you what proof
401
you have to have before even asking for the job
402
or the promotion floor three gets a players into the elevator but floor four keeps them from becoming expensive B players.
403
So a leader can't hire talent and hope motivation magically appears.
404
You build a system where winning changes somebody's future.
405
If great and mediocre work both get the same amount of money, time, recognition, you have trained everyone to be super mediocre.
406
So that's like having accountability without consequences.
407
You know, you don't want that.
408
Your team already knows what you value if you've gotten to this floor.
409
Now they're going to watch what earns those five currencies
410
and what behavior you tolerate without consequences the most obvious one
411
is money right everybody wants to make more of it money is obvious
412
but i still think a lot of times you don't have
413
the incentives perfectly tied to income busy is not a business
414
model a lot of times people say to me well i've
415
been working really hard 12 hours well what did you produce
416
if you didn't produce anything then yeah you just like took
417
a scenic route it's kind of sad maybe you need to get better
418
and uh when you get better we'll pay you more
419
but sales people don't get paid for calls made right they win for collected revenue
420
and customers who stay
421
so content teams should not win for the number of pieces
422
published they should win for views watch time follower growth activity is one scoreboard
423
that tells you somebody moved but results
424
or outcomes tell you well whether they actually moved the company
425
and really revenue so for senior operators i do profit sharing
426
or earned equity because their upside should grow with the value they create
427
so if you're trying to negotiate a salary uh
428
and you're more senior you could say instead of saying here's
429
five percent of the company how about here's a path to five percent
430
if you can create measurable value
431
so do not reward people for looking productive pay them for moving the scoreboard
432
and that is exactly what we do at contrarian thinking
433
and actually every single thing from the hiring matrix to how
434
we tie income to incentives is in this book owner beyond
435
it's the full hiring process to stop hiring on gut feeling
436
and start hiring on evidence to have more profit
437
and less pain in your business in fact it's not just
438
about the entire chapter that's on people it's about how to
439
increase your profit it's about how to increase the freedom in
440
your business it's about how to increase your pricing it's about how to become an owner
441
so on september 18th I'm going to teach it live at
442
a free virtual event we're giving away over a million dollars in cash
443
and prizes if you want the playbook
444
and a shot at the giveaways register free at the link below i'll see you there
445
and i'll give you all of this we're talking about
446
and it's really important to me that we do this fast
447
so this is a one day event that's never going to happen again
448
because time is our most precious commodity time is actually compensation too a leader who pays well
449
and then wastes 20 hours a week in meetings that's misery like do everything that you can to decrease the meetings.
450
One hour times 16 employees equals how many days lost?
451
Two.
452
Every meeting is a tax on the team.
453
And so if you're a member of a team, I think it's your job to say to the leader, this is not very well run.
454
If it has no decision to make, owner to assign or problem to solve, kill the meeting.
455
If you still got to have it, use an agenda and end early.
456
And a good leader is actually going to protect people's time and judges what they produce.
457
If you're ever in my meetings, you'll see me all the time go, why are you in here?
458
I don't think you need to be in here.
459
Like go out today you know there's a crew in here filming this video with me
460
but one of our heads was like i'm not going to be in there today
461
because i want to work on this other thing like great
462
amazing like you are an independent center of gravity give your best people their hours back
463
that signals more trust than another motivational speech now one of the other levers that's really important is recognition
464
and actually for some people this is more important than money people repeat what gets noticed
465
so make the right behavior impossible to miss
466
so for instance every other week we have a company -wide
467
meeting where at every single one i make sure to call
468
out a few people who are actually winning like don't say
469
great work everyone name the person the result the behavior
470
that produced it because when you give public recognition
471
and one person credit everybody else goes kind of i want
472
that and build public recognition in
473
when you build public recognition into the company's operating rhythm then the company starts to strive for it
474
so we have flat slack channels for wins in our our
475
all hands meeting we name specific people who moved the scoreboard like our top sales people
476
or winners in content i give random weekly awards for specific things
477
and if you do this
478
while the win is still fresh not six months later in a performance review people see
479
that as a reward cycle like a mouse with cheese right
480
and it should be a spotlight indirectly at the behavior you
481
want repeated the next one actually the bigger you get the more important this is
482
which is responsibility and access winners want to learn more
483
and do more your strongest people do not always need another
484
bonus sometimes they're like i'm bored i want a bigger problem i want more responsibility i want more control
485
or i want to go sit in the leadership meeting responsibility for someone says i trust your judgment
486
and access says your judgment matters here i want you here
487
so don't reward the person who just ships early by dumping more level work on them give them real ownership
488
and let them make the call bring them into the leadership meeting otherwise you teach your best people
489
that competence just gets you chores
490
while leadership keeps all the leverage let's talk about consequences for a second every exception you tolerate
491
becomes permission let someone miss the same standard twice
492
and the third one's on you
493
so for instance uh we have these things called blackout dates at our company
494
so around big events big revenue or earnings months.
495
We have dates that people cannot travel.
496
As you become an owner, you'll see you have to have this in business because you have surges in business.
497
Not every month is the same.
498
And so sometimes you just got to be there, even when you got a wedding that you'd rather go to.
499
So what do you need to do?
500
You need to give clear feedback and a real chance to say, hey, during this time, you actually can't travel.
501
And I know we're buddies and I know you're an adult
502
and I hate to tell you you can't go do anything in life.
503
That feels weird to me.
504
But if i give you this opportunity off what about everybody else
505
and you can always negotiate you can say listen i'm gonna
506
need you to work two saturdays to make up for it
507
and then i can say he's done double the work to cover
508
that one spot ready go because floor three is getting
509
that right people to the right elevator right
510
but remember four four gives them that reason to keep climbing
511
and then the penthouse is where you build a system
512
that actually climbs with you the penthouse sets the tone for everything
513
so this is where owners and ceos operate
514
and the job looks nothing like the work
515
that got you here you are not paid as a ceo
516
to do tasks you aren't even usually the one giving instructions
517
to most of the team your main job now is to set the tone for the whole business
518
because everyone below you is watching you to decide how seriously to take the mission
519
so at the penthouse i really think you lead through three pillars
520
and those three pillars are what you decide where you point
521
and what you model so the foundation for your business it starts with
522
judgment so this is what your decisions are firstly there is one thing you must stop doing here
523
and that's making a thousand decisions a day it feels productive
524
but it quietly drags you down
525
so your value at the top is getting the few decisions
526
that matter right and then building people who can handle the rest.
527
Your next job is really vision.
528
So the most valuable thing you can build clarity around is where are you going?
529
And then repeat it until every person can say it back to you.
530
If you have a vision on a wall, but nobody's repeating it or engraving it in their daily conversations, then you don't actually have a real vision.
531
You have to carry yourself and every part of your life
532
and every part of your company as the same part of the vision.
533
And it's so important that we even have it on the walls.
534
And I'm constantly reminding people to look at them.
535
Lastly, you have consistency.
536
One of my favorite lines and also least favorite lines of all time, because it's so annoying when it gets rubbed in your face, is how you do anything is how you do everything.
537
If you speak carelessly, can't hold a clear thought, or don't look after yourself or your word, people quietly wonder whether to put their careers behind you.
538
They read the small things as evidence of the big ones.
539
And the biggest one is this, do what you say you're going to do.
540
So everything you do at this level, I basically think of it as like a giant filter that's filtering down to the rest of the company.
541
And everything across these five floors builds towards one shift
542
which again is all in this book own or beyond
543
so a few years ago you know my number two he actually quit over the phone uh
544
and he was like i think the third key person to leave in a month
545
and i remember like very clearly i put my head on the desk
546
and finally saw it i like finally saw the truth
547
that i didn't want to hear
548
which was i wasn't running the business i was the business
549
and you know every important decision was in my head and so when this one person was leaving it could crater everything.
550
And the question that turned it around was simple.
551
Okay, what system needs to exist so it doesn't matter who leaves?
552
And that's why I wrote this book.
553
I started it that many years ago and I wrote Owner Be Owned
554
because this is the playbook of the shift for buying back your freedom, even from the baby that you've created, the business that you've built.
555
And this is the future.
556
So the question to answer here is which floor are you on?
557
Most people are going to spend their entire careers on one floor.
558
And that is because you aren't yet a leader.
559
And remember, leadership isn't a personality you're born with.
560
It's really just a set of skills.
561
And you just watch the ones for every level.
562
So be honest about where you are.
563
You can tell me in the comments.
564
The full hiring matrix and the rest of the scaling systems are all inside Owner Be Owned at my free event.
565
The elevator's open.
566
Which floor are you getting off on?

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
