Yeah. I think one of the things that you want to do is you want to think of yourself as a partner to each of the people who work for you, not like the boss, because telling people what to do doesn't work, but you want to be, your job is to be a coach, a mentor, a thought partner. Your job is not to be a micromanager.

So I think when people are like, oh, I'm just going to hire the right people and then get out of their way, they're avoiding being a micromanager, which is good, but then they become an absentee manager, which is bad. You don't want to be an absentee manager.

people take a job with you because they want to work with you they think that you're going to help them grow in their career succeed in this job and that in fact is your job as their leader you take care of your people and your people take care of the mission so what one of the things that i think can be really helpful is to become aware of when you're veering to

too far towards being a micromanager and when you are veering too far towards being an absentee manager. And it's going to be different. But this is one of the things that I, even after I wrote the book, learned. There's someone who I work very closely with and I like a lot of time alone. I don't want too much engagement. I like working on projects independently. I mean, I'm a writer.

What's the ultimate independent project? Although I got a lot of, there were a hundred people giving me feedback on the book. So it wasn't as independent as you might think. But one person who I work closely with said, I feel like I'm being ignored. I feel like I'm being sent out to do stuff on my own. I feel lonely. And so I realized that it's important.

Like one of the, I recommend soliciting feedback. Don't dish it out before you prove you can take it. And I recommend soliciting feedback at the end of every one-on-one. And a good question to ask folks is, this week, where did I get involved that you wished I hadn't? And where did I fail to get involved that you wish I had?

And that's going to help you find that right balance and recognize that the balance is going to be different for each of the people who work for you because each of them wants something slightly different from you.
