I asked 350+ managers to share their biggest mistakes.

These 7 mistakes came up over and over.

Here's how you can avoid them:

1/ They Can't Get It All Done

High-performing teams get rewarded with more:

More projects, more customers, more problems.

Tip: Do less work better.

Regularly ask, What work can I:

-> Eliminate?
-> Automate?
-> Streamline?
-> Delegate?

Great leaders are ruthless optimizers.
2/ They Do Too Much Work Themselves

Don't let anyone fool you: Managing well is work.

You can't thrive as a manager until you find joy in succeeding through others.

Tip: Change what you VALUE:

They do the work. They get the credit.

You can be known for letting stars shine.
3/ They Gave Ineffective Feedback

People change of their own accord. Yet you keep telling them how to be better.

Tip: Use open-ended questions.

-> Casual: How do you think it's going?
-> Diagnostic: What are you optimizing for?

Help them find your insight on their own.
4/ They Missed Big Problems Early

As a manager, your number 1 job is to size up problems others miss.

Your boss is too distant. Your employees are inexperienced.

Tip: Catch 98% of the problems w/ 3 filters:

- Key business metrics
- Customer surveys
- Talking to your people
5/ They Didn't Have a System

Management hits you all at once.

-> The TYPE of work elevates.
-> The BREADTH of work grows wider.
-> The VALUE shifts from you to them.

Your to-do list isn't going to cut it.

Tip: Steal my codified management playbook

6/ They Excluded Their Team in Decisions

Wonder why people love coaches and resent managers?

Coaches help their players achieve their goals.

Your team will not own what they didn't create.

Tip: Co-author the plan

-> Give them the pen
-> You edit & promote

Value >> Credit
7/ They tolerated bad employees

Some managers are too quick to write off underperforming employees.

The same managers are usually too slow in dealing with a toxic one.

Strong performance is seductive.

Tip: Culture >> Outcomes

Remove the cancer, and your team will rally.
Good leaders learn from their mistakes.

Great leaders learn from the mistakes of others.

Avoid these 7 mistakes to get ahead of 90% of your peers.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
