Most Think - Your Opinion Doesn't Carry Risk PT 3 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Perfect example. I have a Jeep, I got those aftermarket tires on, right? It says inflate the tires between 35 and 40 pounds.

The Path To Doing Nothing Pt. 2 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So our objective is we want them to solve problems independently with minimal input from you other than approval, minimal editing, and then an authorization to go forward with the proposed solution, right? Or if they can't solve it all the way, maybe the problem is way beyond their scope or there's information they're just not aware of or they don't have that budget authority or they just maybe they just noticed something...
info_outlineDescriptive v. Instructive
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
So you've heard the term over-communicate. We have to over-communicate. That doesn't mean just talking more. That means being very, very specific in how we give instructions.
Okay, and when we do the situational leadership, we'll talk about that some more because we need to stop being descriptive and we need to start being instructive. So as a manager, as a leader, that's what this group needs to do, right? So in other words, somebody's gonna go and if you were to say to somebody that's heading out to a job site for a client, say, hey, do a great job, do it the source one way, that's descriptive. There's 15 different or ultimately infinite number of interpretations of that. Now, you wanna be instructive, right? Okay, and when you get there, I expect a call as soon as you get there. Let's do a video walkaround. Here are our steps, here's our agenda and our script, and that's what we want you to do.
