Highlights
Our lives are never as clear and direct as they are in books and films.
It’s easy to make sense of things looking backwards, weaving a clear yarn about how we got from A to B.
But for everyone in the arena, it is always uncertain.
One of the most amazing things when building a business is setting people and processes in place and letting them flourish.
With the hurricanes this past week, I had to dive back into some customer service for the first time in years, and was STUNNED by how good my team actually was.
I can be a micro-manager, love getting my hands dirty, and obsessing over minute details when it comes to service. Watching my team do everything I would do and more without any oversight or guidance from me is just awesome.
Hire great people, coach them on the WHY, and let them do their thing.
