00:00:14 Asks employees for feedback.

00:00:16 Great leaders realize they don't know what they don't know and they ask for feedback so that they can learn quicker.

00:00:22 Boss.
00:00:23 Boss forgot that they're the ones in charge.
00:00:25 Texts you about your work on day off.
00:00:27 Manager.
00:00:27 The manager is doing that because they don't know how to set frameworks, status reports, reporting timelines.
00:00:33 Praises you in front of the rest of the team.
00:00:35 Leader.
00:00:35 They're creating a bright spot for everybody else to point to.
00:00:38 Takes credit when things are going well.
00:00:40 Boss.
00:00:41 It goes from the we to an I really quick.
00:00:43 Asks the team for a plan when things aren't going well.
00:00:46 Leader behavior.
00:00:47 Great leaders know that if they build the plan with their team, the team won't fight the plan.
00:00:50 So if things aren't going right, they work with their team to co-create.
00:00:53 Weekly one-on-one meetings.
00:00:54 Leader.
00:00:54 Leaders know that rhythms are important
00:00:56 and that's why they do the one-on-ones every week.
00:00:58 High turnover on employees.
00:00:59 Boss.
00:01:00 People don't quit companies, they quit leaders. 1.00
00:01:02 High turnover means you suck. 0.99
00:01:03 Gives you more work than other people. 0.99
00:01:05 Managers probably do that
00:01:06 because managers are trying to manage things
00:01:08 and anybody that's able to just get the work done,
00:01:11 they'll just like not want to fight with anybody else
00:01:13 so that it's easy for them.
00:01:14 Never in the office, but expects everyone else to be.
00:01:16 That's a boss.
00:01:17 They aren't willing to do
00:01:18 what they're asking their team to do.
00:01:20 Throws a monthly pizza party.
00:01:21 Managers.
00:01:22 Culture is not pizza party.
00:01:23 cultures as standards.
