Eric Siu argues against the hands-off management style of hiring people and getting out of their way. He shares examples of where that approach failed and advocates instead for focused involvement in company operations.
I believe that why hire people and get out of their way is BS business advice because one, it's your company and it's not saying your way is the right way. My way is the right way. I'm just telling you, I'll share my story here. I've tried this hire and get out of their way 4 times. It has failed all 4 times. Whenever I'm involved and my bookkeeper, one of the bookkeepers said she can tell when I'm involved again and the numbers just go up, right? And I'm not saying I'm the best thing since sliced bread, nor are you, right? And we make a lot of mistakes. My take on everything now is just really just 2 words. It's focused involvement. Yeah.
