5 massive mistakes Smart Tech Leaders Make that Keep Them Tired And Working Way Too Late
Dangerous Rumor Being brilliant at one thing, makes you brilliant at everything!
Massive Mistake #1 Wrong people in the wrong jobs When skills dont match job duties, work is harder, more mistakes get made, things take longer and profits are reduced.
You cant always see the all the skills & abilities your staff really has .
TIP: Do a detailed innate skills analysis
Massive Mistake #2 Taking on full responsibility for success all by yourself Its tempting because youre 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 #3 Not Holding Employees Accountable Due to Fear
Avoiding the conversation just makes things worse
TIP: Focus feedback on their contribution (or lack thereof) to the organizations vision & mission
Massive Mistake #4 Not Seeing the Hidden Gold on Your Team
Opportunities to leverage those skills go undiscovered
TIP: Identify hidden talents and redistribute the work more profitably
Massive Mistake #5 Being the Technician, Not the CEO Boss
Its easier, but costly
TIP: Set your team up to S.O.A.R. and spend more time with prospects, partners and customers.
