Quotes
Your role as a manager is not to do the work yourself, even if you are the best at it, because that will only take you so far. Your role is to improve the purpose, people, and process of your team to get as high a multiplier effect on your collective outcome as you can.
You can be the smartest, most well-liked, most hardworking manager in the world, but if your team has a long-standing reputation for mediocre outcomes, then unfortunately you can’t objectively be considered a “great” manager.
Management
Your job, as a manager, is to get better outcomes from a group of people working together.
Purpose, people, process. The why, the who, and the how.
The first big part of your job as a manager is to ensure that your team knows what success looks like and cares about achieving it.
