But what is management capacity?

It's really problem solving at scale.

Because if you are doing super well over there, guess what?

They're problem solving there.

I can create other awesome problems.

Like I love creating problems.

Go solve those too.

But if I don't have the management capacity, then I'm effed.

So the management style that I do is sort of problem solver in chief, which is I take the most impactful problems that are not being solved and that's on my desk or desk or room or whatever you want to call it.

That's where I'm spending my time.

So people go, oh, what do you spend your time on?

I'm like, it depends what the freaking problems are that matter.

And it can change.

And that's how I roll.

But it means once you have a problem solver in chief mentality, that flows downward.

That means any direct report of mine must be the deputized problem solver in chief.

And they've got their – because there's only 24 hours in a day.

I can only solve so many myself.

They have to then take that for their world and do the same thing and then do the same thing to their people.

So the bottom line is you've got to prove that these folks can solve actual problems and aren't just talking the talk.
