00:00:00.000 I literally see CEOs do this all the time.
00:00:01.660 I hired an executive assistant,
00:00:02.680 I don't see what the big deal is.
00:00:03.600 Did you go into their inbox and start looking at emails?
00:00:06.780 Well, of course, why wouldn't I do that?
00:00:08.160 Because I told you not to.
00:00:09.380 Let them process and bring to you the stuff
00:00:11.500 they don't know how to process.
00:00:12.640 It's kind of this joke where you see people hiring
00:00:14.440 a person to clean their house,
00:00:15.820 but before they show up, they clean their house.
00:00:17.440 It's fascinating to watch,
00:00:18.960 but as a team member under that leadership style,
00:00:22.500 it doesn't feel good,
00:00:23.460 because you know what message that says to me?
00:00:24.840 You don't trust me.
00:00:25.680 I don't wanna work for somebody that says to me
00:00:27.460 indirectly by their actions, they don't trust me.
00:00:29.100 Imagine if every time I go to do my work, I see evidence that the person that I report to
00:00:33.620 has been in and messed with the work before I even showed up to do it.
00:00:36.780 It's like, you didn't even give me a chance to do it.
