In this episode, I talk about how to reduce the amount of work your team should be doing, and why it's a good thing it's not 80% done by somebody else. I also talk about the benefits of having someone else do 80% of the work you need them to do.

00:00:00.000 80% done by somebody else is 100% awesome. 0.99
00:00:02.780 There's a lot of really shitty leaders 0.99
00:00:04.320 that expect from their team 0.99
00:00:06.040 things that are just unreasonable.
00:00:07.720 Expecting somebody that doesn't have perfect information,
00:00:10.660 perfect experience, perfect education
00:00:12.800 around solving a problem
00:00:14.180 that you've promoted them into a position to solve
00:00:16.740 and then get upset at them
00:00:17.820 for them not being able to do what you need them to do. 0.95
00:00:20.120 That's just silly.
00:00:20.860 So my rule is 80% done by somebody else
00:00:23.180 where I got that time back is 100% awesome.
00:00:25.700 That's leverage.
00:00:26.720 While they were spending six, seven, eight hours a day
00:00:29.080 doing something, editing videos, going through content, building out a studio, whatever it is.
00:00:34.320 I was then spending that time on things that only I could do. That's an awesome trade. And I think
00:00:38.840 if people just reduced the amount of expectations they have from other people, it would actually
00:00:43.880 make them happier. And it would be more aligned with what's feasible because there's no way those
00:00:48.780 people have the information to do things the way you would because they're not you and they don't
00:00:52.260 have that life experience.
