I'm gonna tell them to you, then we're gonna talk about them.
You're gonna tell yourself, clarity is kindness.
You're gonna tell yourself, delay compounds the damage.
And you're gonna tell yourself, placement is stewardship.
Let's talk about it.
Clarity is kindness.
You will never lead anything great when you don't tell the truth quickly.
It is not unkind to tell someone, you're in the wrong seat.
What's unkind is to protect their feelings and allow them to be frustrated and continue to underperform.
Clarity is kindness.
Tell them the truth.
Second thing is delay compounds the problem.
You think, and I know you think this because I thought it all the time, you think if I just wait a little longer, it's going to get better.
But more time never makes a wrong placement right.
Don't hesitate.
What I do is...
I put hard deadlines on myself or other leaders.
If we've been working for over a year with a person, I'll say, hey, look, you got by February to get this fixed.
And if you don't, I'm going to be talking to you.
Or I can do the same thing with myself.
