00:00:00.000 When people on my team come to me with problems

00:00:02.840 that are obvious in answer, I act like a six-year-old.

00:00:06.400 I act like I don't know.

00:00:07.760 I act incompetent because I wanna teach them

00:00:10.080 that they're way more capable

00:00:11.420 and that I hired them to do a job

00:00:13.340 that I've empowered them to do,

00:00:14.540 that I was clear who owned the outcome.

00:00:16.340 In many ways, I think we teach people how to treat us.

00:00:18.260 So me acting like I don't know teaches them in the future,

00:00:21.940 I'm not gonna give you the answer to the test.

00:00:23.760 If not, you're gonna be the bottleneck of the whole business.

00:00:26.060 You'll never have a business that can grow without you

00:00:27.980 because nobody's gonna make a decision without you,

00:00:29.820 which means if you go on vacation, the whole business just stops.

00:00:32.260 So it's actually just a really bad way to leave.
