Mark Evans (DM) gives brief, practical leadership advice in a YouTube clip titled "Get strategic with your business decisions." He warns against repeatedly intervening with employees ("jump in, jump out") because it undermines them, and prescribes a 30-day plan: set clear capability expectations, execute, and report daily owner-level metrics to decide whether to intervene. He cites his book, "10 Minute Business Owner," as a source for which data points owners need to see quickly.
Don't jump in, jump out, jump in, jump out because you start taking power from them. You give it to them and you pull it back from them. It's very degrading to them and they will literally implode the company and yourself. I've done this personally, not on purpose but I get excited. No, here's the plan. You got 30 days. Get it, want it capable of doing it. You're going to go out, execute it and you're going to report back on daily numbers. Keep it simple. What numbers do you need to see as the owner so you're not super anxious, overwhelmed. I wrote a book about this called 10 minute business owner. What data points you need to see as an owner within 10 minutes you can understand what's going on, do you need to jump in and or where the company's headed in good or bad direction and this is what you need to do for high level empowerment.
