Mike Melton argues that real leaders own their mistakes instead of blaming teams. He's launching a hands-on training program where he flies to client sites to observe and correct processes, using peer pressure as a daily tool. Anyone who doesn't improve gets let go.
Say managers, right? I'm not going to say leaders. I'm going to say managers like to say it's like the other people's fault. You know, it's always the guy's fault or the girl's fault or whatever. You know, the team members fault. But a lot of times it's our fault as leaders because we haven't, you know, led them in the right direction or we haven't really set those expectations for these people. So at the end of the day, our issues are because of us. We haven't set the expectations. And if we did set them, we didn't hold them accountable, your standards in place and just hold people accountable. Like people like structure. Like they. You don't think they do. They like structure. They have to have structure. And that's why when I talked to John the other day, I put some structure in his life. I was like, man, you, you got to fucking get up. Like there's. I don't give a. You got to do the hard shit. The best training is hands on, like we can. So I'm starting a program where I fly out what I've been doing it, but I'm really going to hammer on it where I fly out to companies because there's nothing better than hands on tr. Well, I'm where my feet are. We can correct it right? Then you don't have to wait. Like we put structure in place. I see exactly how your processes are going. Like I see everything in your company. Whenever you have peer pressure, it forces people to grow. Like I peer pressure the hell out of my people every day. I force people to grow. And if you're not growing, you're gone. Like you have to grow, but you have to grow in the business and you have to grow as a personal person. I want you to grow more as a person than in that business because if you grow more as a person, you're going to do better in business. That's just how it works. I agree, I wholeheartedly agree with that. You know, managers compared to leaders, right? You know, most managers are impatient. Leaders are patient. They're a little bit more patient, right? Like me. I always care about others. It's not all about me. Because when I care about others, me will figure itself out. Managers are always worried about themselves. They're selfish. You know, leaders are always giving because you're not always going to make the right decisions. Nobody is. Even the greatest leaders have made wrong decisions. That's part of learning, right? Nobody's perfect.
