It's like the number one interview question I have for executives, which is, let's say that we have an ability to hire a couple of people underneath you.

I'm not positive we do, but if we do, who do we have to bring from your other organizations in order for you to succeed?

And I can always tell if they're going to be a good leader if they're like, I don't care.

Pay me slightly less.

Bring Bob, Sarah, and Matt.

We need these three.

Or at least Bob.

And if they can name nobody, then they're really just a manager that nobody wants to follow.

And so it's almost the inverse, too.

Everything you hear about how to make your boss better is also how do you become a better leader and a boss.

A hundred percent.

I'm curious, like, I know that there's a component of advocacy to getting promoted or getting passed on, but let's say, you know, you're listening to this and you just haven't been able to get a promotion or you're too scared to ask or you're ready for it, but you're not sure what to do next.

What is the difference between somebody who will get promoted and somebody who will get passed on?

Yeah, that's a great point.

Yeah, if we flip the question and invert it, I guess my question for you would be like, what things should you never say to your boss if you want to make more money or get promoted?

Yeah, it's a good point.

I think it's counter to a lot of advice I hear on TikTok these days.

It's like, if you don't ask for what you want, you're not going to get it.

And that is actually not true, I don't think, by and large.

In good organizations, I feel like if you can show your results consistently without asking for it, you can make more money.
