00:00:02.440 Here's what the 1-3-1 is.
00:00:03.640 First off, is it pushes decisions down to the people
00:00:06.720 that have the most context to solve the problem.
00:00:09.280 So you think you're being helpful and you want to be helpful
00:00:11.480 and that is kind of an intoxicating way to always feel needed
00:00:14.140 because people come to you with problems.
00:00:15.680 The problem is that if you always give people the answers to their problems,

00:00:40.900 You become the editor, but 98% of the time,
00:00:43.460 they know their problem better than I do,
00:00:45.420 and it sounds good, approved, do that, I trust you, check in.
00:00:48.960 That is the 131, and that will change your life.
