Dan Martell - I don't tell my team what to do

In this episode, I talk about how I coach my team and how I get them to do the things they need to do to be the best at what they do. I also talk about some of the things I do to keep my team on track and keep them on track.

00:00:00.000 Tell anybody on my team what to do. I tell them what it looks like when it is done at the highest

00:00:05.640 level. And sometimes they'll pull me into that, like what do you think I should do? And I literally

00:00:10.640 act like a six-year-old. I go, I don't know. And they're like, I'm asking you. I know, but I don't

00:00:16.360 know. Of course you know. Pretend like I don't. If I wasn't here, what would you do? Well, I'd probably

00:00:22.940 hit the internet or I'd probably call this person. I said, that sounds like a great idea. So I focus

00:00:27.400 on outcome then i go to measure which is what is the numbers that we're going to agree upon

00:00:33.080 means you're making progress so if i say we're going to take that mountain i might say well

00:00:37.000 let's measure the daily elevation gain per day and every day if you text me how many feet of

00:00:41.240 elevation you made then as long as you're moving upwards we're good but if all of a sudden you

00:00:45.480 report back a negative i'd be like did you fall off a cliff and then they'd be like yeah i got

00:00:50.600 lost it's like cool what could you do not to be lost i should probably get a map that sounds like

00:00:54.680 a great idea then at the end this is the third part of the coaching is you ask them based on

00:00:58.360 the story i just shared with you what did you take away from that so notice i didn't i didn't

00:01:02.920 tell them anything.
