00:00:00.000 And sometimes your team will wanna do stuff
00:00:02.520 for other people and I love that,
00:00:04.100 but we don't wanna do people's work.
00:00:05.580 Sometimes you're actually gonna have to stop yourself
00:00:07.720 from when you see something.
00:00:09.100 I remember the other day,
00:00:10.120 there was an issue at the garage door
00:00:11.880 and I started to take a video of the issue
00:00:15.000 to send to our house manager.
00:00:16.640 That's their responsibility.
00:00:17.780 They own 100% of all of our real estate
00:00:20.160 and our vehicles and just our lot.
00:00:21.940 And Renee goes, oh no, no, I know how to fix it.
00:00:24.420 You just take the WD-40 and she goes over
00:00:26.880 and I go, no, no, babes, babes, let Betty take care of it.
00:00:29.940 And I had to explain, I go, look,
00:00:31.220 I know some things I can solve,
00:00:33.280 but I will deliberately not do it
00:00:36.060 to give it to the person so that they can learn.
00:00:38.800 Because I already know how to fix stuff.
00:00:40.580 I already know how to be thoughtful.
00:00:41.800 I already know how to be resourceful, determined, creative.
00:00:45.940 But I want my team to learn these lessons.
