10 Leadership Principles


	1. Follow "Servant Leadership"
	Pro managers know they work for their team. You are an enabler. Remove roadblocks, coach your team & guide them.
	2. Create SOPs and Systems
	You can't truly delegate a task until it's out of your head and onto paper, if you want to work 4 hours a day -> build systems.
	3. Tell Your Team the "Why" Behind the "what"
	Why -> what -> how When your team understand the purpose, they make better decisions.
	4. Hire People Smarter Than You
	Give your smartest people space to surprise you, and they will. Perceived autonomy enables flow and flourishing.
	5. Delegate Authority, Not Just Responsibility
	Delegating authority can cut your workload from 60 hours to 2 hours per week
	6. Have Fun With Your Team
	When you're just buddies. hanging out, you're making staff happen together. went skydiving with my CRO.
	7. Build Strong Relationships
	Hang out with your team outside of work. When people are friends you got their back, and they got yours.
	8. Give Advice, Not Feedback
	Feedback looks backward at what went wrong. Advice looks forward at how to improve.
	9. Default to Trast
	Micromanagement screams "I don't trust you" set your team up for success, then trust them to deliver.
	10. Show Your Team It's OK to Fail
	Create a culture where it's safe to fail. Frame mistakes as learning opportunities.
