00:00:00.000 Stop tolerating lazy team members.

00:00:02.200 The longer you go where the top people on the team

00:00:05.620 is cleaning up the bottom people on the team's mess,

00:00:08.960 then you've just taught them,

00:00:10.620 just leave it there long enough,

00:00:12.100 and then the top people will come in.

00:00:13.380 But over time, they'll get resentful.

00:00:14.860 They'll be like, yo, I care way too much,

00:00:16.780 and I'm picking up way too much slack.

00:00:18.220 If you're the leader,

00:00:18.980 and you're not the one cleaning up the bottom

00:00:20.660 so that the top keeps increasing the average,

00:00:23.200 you're gonna lose the top, the whole thing goes down.

00:00:25.340 You clean the bottom up, the top gets better,

00:00:27.360 you find more people, and everybody rises.
