Training a New Manager

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. It's the hardest thing for you all that you're going to have to do is actually watch somebody do something in the beginning, at least, worse than you think you do.

So when you start to manage somebody, you're doing the work right now. You're the producer. You're doing the work.

Things are rising. Things are going good. Now, we train somebody.

What happens? That, for a small period of time. But then, ideally, it goes up from there. So managers have as much trouble with allowing their direct reports to outperform them than they do underperform them.

Because the thinking is, well, if I have a whole team that's getting all this stuff done without me, what do you need me for? And that comes into play. That's not the way to look at this. The way to look at it is, you are the reason why this team performs, and high tide floats all boats.

Because you should be thinking, in your job,  to shed 20% of your job description every year.
