Dangerous Rumor
Being brilliant at one thing, makes you brilliant at everything!
Massive Mistake #1Wrong people in the wrong jobs
When skills don’t match job duties, work is harder, more mistakes get made, things take longer and profits are reduced.
You can’t always see the all the skills & abilities your staff really has
.
TIP: Do a detailed innate skills analysis
Massive Mistake #2Taking on full responsibility
for success all by yourself
It’s tempting because you’re so capable and you know what you want.
But you end up handling too much of the work, making it hard to scale
TIP: Empower your staff. Let go of the reins.
Massive Mistake #3Not Holding Employees Accountable Due to Fear
Avoiding the conversation just makes things worse
TIP: Focus feedback on their contribution
(or lack thereof) to the organization’s vision & mission
Massive Mistake #4Not Seeing the
Hidden Gold on Your Team
Opportunities to leverage thoseskills go undiscovered
TIP: Identify hidden talents andredistribute the work more profitably
Massive Mistake #5Being the Technician, Not the CEO Boss
