Not a coincidence.

They've become so good because the client is so good at exporting their thinking and

giving feedback, praise and recognition, helping build up their confidence when they make mistakes, helping correct them and steer them.

And it really is a marriage of sorts.

And so as long as both parties are really invested in it, it can be super powerful.

But if it's one-sided, ain't gonna work.

How do people get better feedback?

I think this is something that lots of humans struggle with.

So number one thing is do it more often.

People just don't do it enough.

The number two thing is you need to be way more detailed.

Hey, this was good or hey, that was not good, not helpful.

Helpful feedback is very specific and it's very timely.

It's hey, this task you did, I liked because you were super fast, you were detailed, X, Y, Z. Or hey, next time I'd like you to do this differently.

and be very specific.

So that's just the most like you need to be doing it constantly and needs to be very detailed.

The other thing that is not obvious to lots is that you should really be exporting your own personal algorithm and your own thinking as you delegate.

So kind of a novice way of delegating would be, hey, will you plan a dinner party for Chris and me when I'm in Austin next week?

That's probably not going to be organized the way you want because there's not much detail there.

The better way to delegate would be to say, hey, when I have dinner parties, here's what I like them to be.
