Episode 391: Jumping on Grenades - From Micro Manager to Macro Manager with Brian Mehmen
Brian Mehmen has always been a very hands-on leader and like many, found it difficult to learn that he couldn't micromanage his team forever if he wanted to grow. When you let your people have their own styles and ways with a few micro-rules, success comes at a rate where you do little but you get much. • Learning how to let go and let others take responsibility (so you can grow). • Starting as a micro-manager and growing into a macro manager so you can grow. • If you are solving every problem your team never develops the ability to solve problems and creativity. TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [4:57] Won’t encompass macro leaders. [10:24] Jump on grenades. [13:42] Move energy and ownership in making it work.
