It used to be I knew every single thing that was going on at a company, and I can just be like, hey, that's where the problem is.

I'm going to unblock that, right?

Now we're getting to the point where I know most of what's going on at the company, but sometimes something is so low down that I don't know what the problem is.

And if I ask five people, they'll all do this.

It's like the Spider-Man.

Yeah, and it's just all over the place.

Yeah, exactly, right?

It was Johnny who left.

It was Johnny, and I don't know.

And I have found that there are a lot of people in tech that have done a really good job managing up.

They have ridden a wave of their team success without being successful themselves.

So the thing that I look for a lot is, can people admit their mistakes?

It is so obvious that

when someone is actually admitting mistakes versus they're saying that one of the biggest things they've done wrong is actually like something that's really great.

We'll go back to something you said earlier.

Like when you said some of the things are bad habits that you're trying to get out.

Well, I mean, yeah, yeah.

And you said like checking slack too much.

Right, right.

And like that I think is a good example of like- I was thinking like alcoholism, bulimia.
