Confidence Classic: How to Lead With Heart and Build a Culture That Rocks with Jim Knight

It's not easy to just say, if it's not working for you, you need to bail. Right. But to your point, I think you can have the mindset, you know, maybe it's a year from now. The plan is I've got an exit strategy. I'm going to find something that I will either fall madly in love with and I'll go and work for a person that fits my values or I'm just going to start my own thing.

And maybe it's two years, maybe it's five years, whatever it is. It's not easy to just say, ah, you need to bail out of the thing. But you're also going to be miserable if you stay there. You're going to look back five, 10, 15 years and go, why did I do that? You know, you spend more waking time at work than you do anywhere else.

Why would you want to spend time somewhere where you weren't madly in love with it and you didn't appreciate the boss? Listen, I worked for a Marriott residence in, I love that brand, but I worked there as a housekeeper for three hours. I just knew that wasn't my gig. I, you know, I gave it my shot and, And it wasn't because of a person. I just knew that that wasn't for me.

I'm either very short term. I decide very quickly where I'm a long term. I'm usually three to seven years in hard rock. It was a little bit different. It was a couple of decades. But in general, I had to have a boss that supported me or I'm just not going to be there long. That's just the way it is. I do think people are getting better. I think brands are getting better.

It blows my mind that that still exists because the kids today, I say the kids, not just the millennials, Gen Z, my kids that are now working in the industries, they'll laugh at you.
