A short spoken segment by Catherine Bell advising listeners—especially women—on leadership and productivity: know your unique strengths (your "genius"), focus on those, and delegate tasks outside your expertise to others who are better suited. She emphasizes building teams of people who can do what needs to be done and compares this to relying on teachers and coaches in family life.
My time to be able to accomplish even more of what I was out to accomplish. So one of the things inside of knowing who I am and what I say to my team is, like, if it's your genius, it's your job. If it's not your genius, it's not your job. So as women, it's getting to know ourselves so well that we really embrace and understand what our genius is and then what our genius is not. And we find other people to handle those things that are not our genius. Right? So it's not about doing it all and knowing it all. That's not it. I always say, like, I'm the smartest person on my team, I'm in the wrong room, right? Like, I'm not the smartest person in the room, and I'm not the smartest person on my team, but I have the smartest people on my team. They know how to do what needs to get done and can get it done. The say again. That's exactly what we do in our families, like, where we send our kids to school, our teachers teach the kids, we send our kids off to sports, the coaches teach the kids. Again, we're using other people's time and talents, so it's the same skills.
