00:00:00.000 whole point of hiring somebody is to have more capacity. When my team asked me to do or they

00:00:04.020 have questions for me, I act like a six-year-old. I literally act like I'm an idiot. I do not have

00:00:08.320 the answer. Somebody messaged me something about my schedule and they know that my assistant

00:00:11.840 manages it. Or somebody else asked me a detail about a project that I don't own, but they think

00:00:16.460 I have an opinion. But then I tell them and I've told them, don't ask me. I'm not doing your job.

00:00:20.720 I hire you to do a job. I trust you. I've been clear on my outcomes. I'm going to hold you

00:00:25.980 accountable and we're going to have a meeting to review your performance. And between now and then,

00:00:30.160 how about you get resourceful about solving your problems? Because if I always have to give you

00:00:34.060 the answer, then you always need me to do your job, which means I didn't buy any of my time back.
