KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Managers and leaders are very different people. Managers tend to fix problems by hiring more people, whereas leaders empower the already existing teams.
  • When looking for your ideal COO, you have to understand yourself as a CEO first. Look at your strengths and weaknesses as well as the core areas of the business that feed your energy.
  • You have to define the roles you give to people and what they're there to do. You can't empower people and then revoke at will.
  • Never be afraid to turn people down. True leaders have to say no more than they say yes. We are there to grow and empower others, but we shouldn't ever have to give it all away.

BEST MOMENTS

'You have to understand yourself as a CEO first'

'I try to find the parts of the company that drain me of energy, and then I find someone who's really good at those things'

'It's an art or skill that executives need to hone - to say no to people'

'The great senior people are never out looking for a job'
