They don't know how to disconnect from social media, from email, from text, from everything else that's going on around them.
And I think that's not a healthy situation.
I think if they need to find ways like get up in the mountains and actually be disconnected for a week, delete their Facebook account, do something radical, because uh breaking that mental
mode where they can actually disconnect will be ultimately I think set them up in a much stronger, uh more successful stance.
Yeah, I think the most important lesson uh that I learned, and it took me a long time to learn this, um, was your intuition about people is very, very powerful.
And often we sit in a mental state when we're hiring and recruiting and leading and making decisions about people where we almost get locked in this sense of anxiety where we don't want to make those tough decisions or don't want to have that tough conversation.
The most important thing I learned is that intuition is 90% of the time right.
And facing into it doesn't mean
This person doesn't have a role for me, but actually talking through that early on and actively with people gets you always a much better outcome than uh ignoring it or not facing up to it or pretending it doesn't exist.
So I think whether that's, you know, bringing in a more senior person to fill a role or I've got something weird, I think about this person, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm not 100% sure they're the right person.
Or, you know, this person's not working out culturally for the business, whenever you get those intuition, it's better to act.
And acting faster on anything people related typically has been the number one mistake.
And having scaled very big businesses, those mistakes can be incredibly costly.
And so if I was going back to my 25-year-old self, I'd say no matter what you read, and no matter what, you know.
How how aggressive you are on that, be more aggressive.
Yeah.
That's true.
And I think w one of the things people think about that is it's always gonna be a negative outcome.
Like I always have this discussion now when I'm teaching people how to performance manage or lead people and
You just go through this conversation in a different frame of reference and you say, Do you think this person is actually enjoying it?
