A leader learns he must delegate and let his team make mistakes to grow. Minor errors teach lessons, but repeating the same one means he failed to prepare them properly. He commits to fixing the process so it doesn't happen again.

What I discovered over time through a lot of pain was I can only get so much done that way. And so long as I'm cool with that capping my career trajectory, right? Mm-hmm. Like, uh, then great. You, I don't have to change. But if I say I want these other opportunities and I want these other things for my life through my professional career, well then I gotta develop this other skill cuz I currently don't have it, right? If it wasn't the way I thought it should be done, it was wrong. Period, full stop. And I had to learn wrong isn't wrong, it's just different. Now, sometimes it is wrong, right? Sometimes different is wrong. But giving them the freedom to skin their knees and chip their teeth and make mistakes and just, you gotta avoid the catastrophic ones. But I like it when the team makes little mistakes. I think it's great. I hate it when they make the same one twice. That's my one rule. Exactly.
'Cause you get to learn from it the first time, fix the process. Oh, we left something off the checklist. Let's add that in.
If anything, it's a, it's a failure in me as a leader if you make a mistake, 'cause I didn't prepare you properly because you're a talent, right? You're either not talent or you're talent. If you're talent, you wanted to do a good job. I didn't put you in a position to do a good job. That's on me. I'll fix that now, but we won't have that same mistake twice, right? Let's agree with that.
And, and then we just keep going, keep moving forward.
