It could just be that the market's ready for your product.

It could be that you have the right product at the right place at the right time and it's going, it has no reflection on you.

So we have to understand that there's all these elements that can give us

false feedback.

I call it feedback, mirage feedback that appears to be real, but actually isn't that caused us to make decisions that aren't actually accurate.

So when we think about this, uh,

in terms of the value in a middle management or upper management position, the real value of that position is not just performance, but it's the most valuable thing that they can do is the ability to replicate their own skillset amongst their team.

And a lot of people don't do this because they get a scarcity mindset in terms of leadership capital, meaning

I'm not going to teach my team how to be as good as me because then they'll be better than me.

And take my job.

That's right.

And that's not actually true.

If you're in an organization that understands what you're doing, if you're in a good organization and you're replicating your skill set and you're a talented individual, skilled individual, and you're replicating this across the standard, bro,

you're the most valuable motherfucker they got because that's the rarest skill that you could have is the ability to replicate yourself into other people.

And that doesn't occur with either one of those scenarios of saying, okay, you can run free or okay, I'm gonna oversee every little fucking decision that you make.

And then there's also times

Where it does require you to step in and make the decisions.

Like when they get so far off track that they can't see where we're going, that's okay.

Now we've got to get back in.

Or like in the beginning of an organization, when you're developing the brand, you're developing the systems, you're developing all of the things that are going to actually build your business.
