Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation:
- The term "being held accountable" doesn't exactly give you the best feeling. In many ways, it's comparable to "being held at gunpoint." Because of this connotation, nobody wants to be held accountable! But if you think of yourself as being "Count-On-Able," it's a state of empowerment and lets you work in your zone of genius, producing the best results for your brand or the people you serve
- Bringing people onto your team for a specific role, then asking after they're on board if they can fill numerous additional roles, is a poor way of communicating, does not set the table for a person to stay loyal to you, and can ultimately lead to burnout, health issues, a person leaving completely, and many other issues that don't serve your long-term plans and retention
- "If you're everything to everyone, ultimately, you're really nothing to nobody." You become the most expendable person on your team when you say 'YES' to everything
