Mark Evans DM argues you can't know what you want until you list what you don't. When people name desires, they repeat what others expect. But ask for dislikes—long hours, bad property, poor jobs—and you get concrete answers. Your dissatisfaction reflects your own leadership gaps and low standards.
I always say you don't know what you want until you know what you don't want. Like, if I— if you ask someone, hey, tell me 10 things you want, and they're like, uh, and they'll say 2 or 3, blah, whatever. And it's usually what someone else has, not what they want, what they think they want, or what they think other people think they want. Um, as opposed to, okay, cool, tell me what you don't want. They'll give you a whole laundry list. You know, I don't want to work a lot of hours, I don't want to have crappy property, I don't want to have this, I don't want bad employ— like, cool, okay, it's a starting point. Now, what is the root cause of all these things? You. It's a reflection of you. And that reflection now is going down as we'll talk about that maybe in a different show. But like leadership, you know, you're leading like you who you are, your standards are off, your implementation, like you just aren't a good leader yet.
