If I think they're a maybe, they're a no because I'm putting complete trust into them. Outcomes is everything and there's two layers of outcomes. If you're smashing 200 grand a month, I don't really care. If you're playing golf 3 days a week, you're being respectful to your teammates, you're getting back to them appropriately, you're working with your clients tightly and everything is sustainable, you play golf 3 times a week. Like, do what you need to do. I'm tight enough to the team. I speak to everyone every day at least once, even if it's just on Slack. We have weekly meetings, we set clear objectives and we work towards those weekly outcomes. And then we have kind of longer standing OKRs. That everybody is working towards.
