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.
I asked 350+ managers to share their biggest mistakes.
These 7 mistakes came up over and over.

Great leaders are ruthless optimizers.
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.
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.
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
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

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
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.
Great leaders learn from the mistakes of others.
Avoid these 7 mistakes to get ahead of 90% of your peers.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
