Leaders Need to Get Work Done Through Others

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

In order to does through other people that you get done through yourself. I’m saying if I were a coach, you still have to get things done to other people. That's the mark of a leader. Well, how much do other people do after your meetings, not just showing up and being really gung ho in your meetings. And so one of the ways that you do that is you start find–catching people doing things right, and letting them know what you respect about them. Because those are the behaviors that you're going to see more and more of. When you acknowledge them, more of them come out. Think about this, how many of you have kids? How many of you know of kids? Describe buddy, when a kid asks about you, you probably don't remember. When a kid learns how to walk, how do they do at the beginning? It's okay. Well, I’m sure your kid was amazing, but how about all the other kids that are not your kids do? Awful! They do all that for and then party it, right? They come out and they're like (unclear words follow) What do we do when they screw up? We're like, yay, isn’t he wonderful? So great, okay. Isn’t he great. Isn’t she great? You’re doing so good. What do we do? We don't critique their walking like, ha! You got ways to go kid. And you're already with walking around, that’s–that’s not gonna work. We don't do that. We find doing as much right as possible.
