Speaker 1: Okay, Delegation and management are critical in running a business
Speaker 1: or having a good position. And there are some people
Speaker 1: in your organization that will shoot to the top immediately,
Speaker 1: and there are other people that will stay where they
Speaker 1: are and just gradually move up the corporate structure and ladder.
Speaker 1: And the problem is those people that are the good
Speaker 1: workhorses that move up the corporate structure and ladder, they
Speaker 1: want to know why they didn't shoot to the top.
Speaker 1: And there could be many different reasons. It could be
Speaker 1: work style. You're not a good salesperson, you're not charismatic,
Speaker 1: you're not likable, you don't click with the person who
Speaker 1: makes the decisions. You're just not a star. You're a
Speaker 1: very good, amazing, solid, reliable, most valuable player worker, but
Speaker 1: you're not a star. But I can tell you this,
Speaker 1: if you are not an excellent manager of time and
Speaker 1: other people, you will get stuck and not move. And
Speaker 1: not everyone's good at managing other people, and not everyone's
Speaker 1: good at managing their time. Take a course on it,
Speaker 1: read about it, learn it. Because people get sucked in,
Speaker 1: and people go down rabbit holes and go down in
Speaker 1: the weeds. It's decision making, decision making. I have been
Speaker 1: told by people at multi billion dollar companies they've never
Speaker 1: met someone more decisive than I am, and that could
Speaker 1: like run things and be as efficient and effective and
Speaker 1: get it done as fast as I can. No one
Speaker 1: on my that I've ever worked with that my entire
Speaker 1: life has been as fast as I am and efficient
Speaker 1: in getting things done. Why it's called make a goddamn decision.
Speaker 1: Check the box, keep it moving. If you make the
Speaker 1: wrong decision, you circle back, you try to correct it,
Speaker 1: you shift it, you pivot it, and you keep it
Speaker 1: moving again. It doesn't matter. You can't get bogged down
Speaker 1: for fear or that you will make the wrong decision.
Speaker 1: That is not a leader, That is not a manager.
Speaker 1: That is not what you do. You make a decision,
Speaker 1: you stand by it, and you keep going, and you
Speaker 1: don't have to ask sixty five people if it's the
Speaker 1: right decision. You could ask people in crowdsourced advice about
Speaker 1: the thing. Phone a friend, don't phone on the boss.
Speaker 1: The boss doesn't want to be in every weed. But
Speaker 1: then fucking make one decision and go and then delegation too.
Speaker 1: Be able to delegate. You can't have your face in
Speaker 1: the pot the whole time. Walk away from a stove,
Speaker 1: turn it to simmer, have someone else to watch the pot,
Speaker 1: take it off, do what you gotta do. But you
Speaker 1: cannot be a person that's going to move to the
Speaker 1: top without management and delegation, or get the right people
Speaker 1: in the seats to manage and delegate if you aren't
Speaker 1: good at that. But these are important skill sets, or
Speaker 1: to know that you're not great at that and not
Speaker 1: the best manager only because I get irritable and lose
Speaker 1: my patience, but I get to get away with it
Speaker 1: because I am the creative. I am a creative. I
Speaker 1: can barely stay on a zoom for more than two seconds.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been put in a jail cell
Speaker 1: with a dog collar around my neck. But the two
Speaker 1: minutes that I'm on the zoom, I damn deliver. I
Speaker 1: damn deliver marketing ideas, solutions, what to do, how to
Speaker 1: name things, where everybody should be, what CCY should be in,
Speaker 1: what twelve people on a meeting should be doing. And
Speaker 1: then I piece the fuck out. But that's a skill
Speaker 1: set and that's me. So find out what you are
Speaker 1: good at thrive in it. Because I do know people
Speaker 1: that are terrible time and people managers and time is
Speaker 1: literally money. If you're paying someone a salary and you're
Speaker 1: not getting the ROI in the amount of time that
Speaker 1: they're working, but you know they're working hard. It's like
Speaker 1: someone who goes to the gym for four hours, but
Speaker 1: the person who goes for forty five minutes is in
Speaker 1: better shape because that person who goes for forty five
Speaker 1: minutes knows how to work out. They work smart, not
Speaker 1: just hard. I had a guy used to work with,
Speaker 1: great guy, loved him. I walked into the boss's office
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm leaving. He said, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? What do you mean such and such is
Speaker 1: still here. I go, well, that's a touching story. He's like, right,
Speaker 1: well then used to I go, no, cause I did
Speaker 1: three times. The work is him, and I'll show you
Speaker 1: it all. Here's all my work, here's all what I'm
Speaker 1: making on all my jobs. And I'm not getting penalized
Speaker 1: because this guy's not efficient. This motherfucker dicks around and
Speaker 1: socializes and talks and laughs. I don't do that. Every
Speaker 1: photoshoot that we negotiate for me to do, they want
Speaker 1: me for eight hours, you'd sooner see me on a
Speaker 1: spaceship tonight. With Gail King going to the moon than
Speaker 1: me on a photo shoot for eight hours. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: a four hour gal, but guess what, we're not jerking
Speaker 1: around with lunch and pleasantries and for play and snack
Speaker 1: time and dicking around. Now I get in there and
Speaker 1: I get my work done and I get the fuck out,
Speaker 1: and the whole crew appreciates it. They don't want to
Speaker 1: dick around either. It's not like, what does everybody want
Speaker 1: for Starbucks? I'm going your going much, shut up, I'm in.
Speaker 1: Let's get the work done. Let's get the fuck out.
Speaker 1: Everyone go live their lives and go to the beach.
Speaker 1: So that's efficient. Other people are there for twelve hours.
Speaker 1: I'm not that girl. Every minute counts. Time is literally money.
Speaker 1: Use your time well, it is so valuable, and manage
Speaker 1: it and manage other people. And managing other people also,
Speaker 1: if done improperly, sucks time. And it's days, it's weeks,
Speaker 1: it's months. It's the same way that like, if you
Speaker 1: buy a latte every day for seven dollars, how much
Speaker 1: is that over the course of a year. If you
Speaker 1: waste twenty minutes every hour on bullshit with people, what
Speaker 1: is that over the course of a year, have the
Speaker 1: right people in the right seats. And if you want
Speaker 1: to grow your business, you have to be knock down,
Speaker 1: drag out. Okay, you could be like a startup small
Speaker 1: entrepreneur person if you are busting out and your business
Speaker 1: is starting to explode and blow up while some people
Speaker 1: might not make it, because you can then employ hundreds
Speaker 1: of people if you have an efficient business model where
Speaker 1: you're working smarter and not just worrying about the one
Speaker 1: person that you feel bad about. It's show business. It's
Speaker 1: not show friends. Okay, it's not show friends. It's show business.
Speaker 1: And it's all about the Benjamin's baby in business, and
Speaker 1: it's all about charity and charity and the two do
Speaker 1: not come together. So if you cut loose somebody who's
Speaker 1: not performing and you're worried about, say their job, you'll
Speaker 1: make hundreds of jobs. So it's not for the faint
Speaker 1: of heart. Let me talk about chatter at work. I
Speaker 1: don't know what your environment is. If it's remote, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter, but it might matter on zooms. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you something. If you work
Speaker 1: for someone really serious, they don't want chatter. They don't
Speaker 1: want work chatter they'll let you know when they want
Speaker 1: to speak about something and then extend the conversation. You'll
Speaker 1: be out with them for a drink after work at
Speaker 1: the Christmas party. Don't add extra information and chat, Oh
Speaker 1: that's so nice. Where'd you get that? None of your
Speaker 1: fa where'd you go? You know? How is your weekend?
Speaker 1: Is almost pushing it too far. That's sometimes too much.
Speaker 1: Like sometimes bosses that are fucking badass, they don't want
Speaker 1: a lot of foreplay. If they're that type of person,
Speaker 1: they'll chat. It's like match their energy. Ish. I would
Speaker 1: voice text people my staff and then they would voice
Speaker 1: text me back up, like yeah, no, that's a one
Speaker 1: way street. Huh huh. I voice text you'll text me
Speaker 1: bac why there's a reason why I'm doing it. But
Speaker 1: this is not for me to listen to seven thousand
Speaker 1: voice messages that are probably private in public. So there's
Speaker 1: a double standard there, But it's the same thing, like
Speaker 1: not everybody wants to be communicated with in the same
Speaker 1: way that they're communicating. They might say you look cute,
Speaker 1: they might say something, they might tell you these genes
Speaker 1: are great. They don't necessarily want you to chime in
Speaker 1: with a monologue about genes. Okay, serious business people have
Speaker 1: a lot going on, they have a lot in their mind,
Speaker 1: and they're not interested in workplace chatter. In addition gossip,
Speaker 1: there is a person that was actually pretty good at
Speaker 1: their job. I mean, they've had this many times. I've
Speaker 1: had probably five of these people. But I have someone
Speaker 1: right off the top of my head that was pretty
Speaker 1: good at their job and they now are chomping at
Speaker 1: the bit to work back here. My sources say, because
Speaker 1: we're crushing it. I'm crushing it. And this is a
Speaker 1: person who really wants to get back here to work here.
Speaker 1: The shop is closed. Why because once someone leaves, the
Speaker 1: other people tell you what their flaws were and what
Speaker 1: they did. And my other LOYALTYA members have told me
Speaker 1: this person was very gossipy, like to shit on me
Speaker 1: to each other, like to shit on other people to
Speaker 1: each other. Like. Workplace gossip is a poison. It is toxic.
Speaker 1: Shut your fucking mouth, keep your head down, know talking
Speaker 1: about anyone else, not even when a little bit prodded
Speaker 1: by the boss, like there's a subtle way to say
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure or perhaps or something. Because you
Speaker 1: want to be the favorite child and you want to
Speaker 1: say the thing about the other. Do not gossip, do
Speaker 1: not talk bad about anybody. Okay, your boss, if they're
Speaker 1: not a moron, they know what's going on overall. They
Speaker 1: might ask you for a specific thing, and it's a
Speaker 1: delicate balance because if someone is not performing and it's
Speaker 1: bogging you down, then when asked, you're going to have
Speaker 1: to find a diplomatic way to con because bosses also
Speaker 1: are not watching closely every single nuanced thing, and they
Speaker 1: might not know how you have a dynamic with someone else.
Speaker 1: What that is. Is it toxic? Are they annoying? Like
Speaker 1: you have to find the right balance to how you're
Speaker 1: going to get that information across that is not being
Speaker 1: a rat, that is not gossiping and is not trashing
Speaker 1: another person. It is not easy. But your boss also
Speaker 1: at the same time does not want you holding on
Speaker 1: to the fact that you know this person either stole
Speaker 1: or is bad or can't hang and can't do the job.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you can land it in a
Speaker 1: way that seems genuine for the boss and not self serving,
Speaker 1: but it's not a joke, Like, these things are very serious,
Speaker 1: and most bosses that are serious think that most people
Speaker 1: don't work as hard as they should, and that no
Speaker 1: one cares as much as the boss. So find the
Speaker 1: balance for you. And that woman who started Good American
Speaker 1: and I think skims she triggered people by saying that
Speaker 1: people who are mentioning their work life balance to a
Speaker 1: boss or a pink flag or a red flag. I
Speaker 1: think she said. I don't disagree with her, like you
Speaker 1: create your own work balance. I don't know what your
Speaker 1: all your hours are. I know that I have a
Speaker 1: business manager that we negotiate a salary for a person,
Speaker 1: and that person knows how many hours it is. If
Speaker 1: they're gonna be at work late today, I always say,
Speaker 1: let me know so tomorrow you can balance it at
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna be away or I'm gonna be away
Speaker 1: four days stack the time. Then do hear? I'm not
Speaker 1: sitting around paying attention to someone's entire schedule. I can
Speaker 1: text someone at ten o'clock at night to have it
Speaker 1: and I'll say, like, don't worry about this now, just
Speaker 1: so it's like been sent or it's somewhere. But if
Speaker 1: they get hooked in and start like writing me or
Speaker 1: texting me, that's on them, Like I'm not unless it's
Speaker 1: an emergency. I'm not asking them at eleven o'clock at
Speaker 1: night to do something about my text. So I believe
Speaker 1: that that woman. I don't have the bandwidth to literally
Speaker 1: know what someone's yoga schedule is and when their baby's breastfeeding.
Speaker 1: I don't have that bandwidth. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: Someone has to monitor and self regulate. This is about
Speaker 1: self regulation. I'm a self regulator. I will be frenzied
Speaker 1: and frazzled and frail and not doing well like I
Speaker 1: haven't later, and then I will put myself in my bed.
Speaker 1: I will turn on a television show and I will
Speaker 1: force myself to go to sleep. I will go and
Speaker 1: harden the paint on a bunch of events and a
Speaker 1: bunch of things, and then I will lay in bed
Speaker 1: for four days and get five massages and recover, not five,
Speaker 1: but like one or two. Know thyself, know thy body.
Speaker 1: But you have to self regulate. AH work ethic. People
Speaker 1: don't change. You don't go backwards. You don't go back
Speaker 1: and get back with your ex where it didn't work,
Speaker 1: it was toxic, or you fired them for some reason.
Speaker 1: So you don't go back and hire someone you fired
Speaker 1: that it didn't work and you don't go back and
Speaker 1: hire someone that quit because they weren't being loyal. But
Speaker 1: now they see that you're doing well and they want
Speaker 1: back in. Fuck them. That's your ex seeing you dating
Speaker 1: a hawk eye and he wants you back. Fuck that
Speaker 1: guy too, So none of that shit goes. You move forward.
Speaker 1: We are going in one direction. It's candy Land. We're
Speaker 1: not going back. We might go across to get to
Speaker 1: the top faster, but you can trust and believe we're
Speaker 1: not going backwards. Okay, it's not Candyland. You keep going.
Speaker 1: And you also, you forgot, you've now glamorized them. You
Speaker 1: forgot why their presence irritated you, why they were lazy,
Speaker 1: why they worried about leaving work at four o'clock, because
Speaker 1: they were more interested in boba than what you were doing.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, it happened for a reason. You move forward,
Speaker 1: not backwards. Oh. Also, if you work from home but
Speaker 1: occasionally are with your boss, don't you ever book an
Speaker 1: appointment on that day. Don't you book an appointment or
Speaker 1: anything that goes on on a day that you're in
Speaker 1: person with your boss. If you're a work from home
Speaker 1: People who come from my generation who are successful and
Speaker 1: wealthy and worked their asses off seven days a week
Speaker 1: without even thinking about it because they were happy to
Speaker 1: have a job. Do not appreciate work from home people
Speaker 1: on the very rare occasions that they're in person leaving
Speaker 1: early immediately, now, immediately, fucking no, make your appointments on
Speaker 1: your own time in those situations. If you work a
Speaker 1: nine to five and you're going to a doctor, yes
Speaker 1: you're not going on Sunday or Saturday to the doctor.
Speaker 1: But you know that your boss. You think they don't
Speaker 1: notice everything. They notice every move you make and every
Speaker 1: step you take for the most part, and they energetically
Speaker 1: also know who's working really hard and who's not. So
Speaker 1: don't be the person that's not a team player and
Speaker 1: lets the other people work harder than you. You know too,
Speaker 1: who's working harder. You know whose load is heavier, whose
Speaker 1: lift is heavier, and you be a team player. Your
Speaker 1: boss notices things you don't know. Your boss knows. They
Speaker 1: notice things you don't notice. It's in the way you write,
Speaker 1: it's in the way you speak, it's in the way
Speaker 1: you present a text an email. It's in your positivity,
Speaker 1: it's in your place of yes, it's in your solving problems.
Speaker 1: And if you ask for a salary number that is high,
Speaker 1: you better be able to back that up, and you
Speaker 1: better be able to do all of the things that
Speaker 1: fall within that salary range. You don't just arbitrarily pick
Speaker 1: a salary number and decide that's what you are unless
Speaker 1: you have institutional knowledge and experience that backs that number up.
Speaker 1: Like unless you're and I got it person, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna need any help with anything within this job perview
Speaker 1: because you know it all. Why, because you ask for
Speaker 1: a lot of money. If you ask for a lot
Speaker 1: of money, bosses don't mind spending money. Okay, most bosses
Speaker 1: don't mind spending a lot of money, but they better
Speaker 1: get value. They better get value, otherwise they'll resent you.
Speaker 1: It's not different than a relationship. Buy her beautiful gifts,
Speaker 1: spoil her, et cetera. Buyer the ames beags. She better
Speaker 1: be respectful and thoughtful and grateful and doting, responsive and
Speaker 1: reciprocate and cook dinner and go to the farmer's market
Speaker 1: and give massages and do whatever it is. Okay, because
Speaker 1: nobody gets out without paying the bill. You're welcome. Bye.
Speaker 1: The count The answer the conser
