This idea, you know, back to expressions that I hate.

Well, that's not my job.

That is an expression I loathe, especially like in a setting of a company.

I just, I don't believe that.

I don't think that's, and frankly, at any stage of company.

I mean, there's sometimes where like that literally is someone else's job.

I get that.

But high agency is someone that sees a problem and says, I'm going to fix it and then fixes it themselves.

That they take, they put themselves into the role of single threaded owner, responsible person.

I take high agency in everything that I have.

It's actually a great term.

I actually don't think about that term that often.

I love that term.

I think the people I admire most all have high agency.

They see something.

They take responsibility for it, which means that if it goes well, it's their win.

If it doesn't go well, it's their loss.

But they have the levers in their hand.

They're able to...

maneuver those levers however they best see fit, and they're willing to accept the consequences of those results.
