Blair Singer outlines leadership as a six-stage climb: recruiting the right people, training them, setting measurable accountability, correcting based on that accountability, improving efficiency and revenue, then empowering new leaders to scale. He asks where you are on this journey.
Leadership is not a title. It's a climb. It's like climbing a mountain. It's like climbing any project. It's climbing your business to the highest levels. Six camps to get there. Six camps. Camp number one is recruiting. Are you recruiting the right people for the right reasons and asking them the right questions? Camp number two, as we now get to the mountain, is training. Are we training for the right skills and the right tasks that we're going to need at higher altitudes? Camp number three is accountability. What things, measurable things, are we all willing to be accountable for? Camp number four is correction and improvement based upon what we said we would be accountable for. And camp number five? Now, as we employ those, our efficiency should be better and money should be pouring in. But camp number six is critical if you're going to scale. And that's where you're empowering new leadership to take the group to the next level. Where are you in this journey?
