Will Humphreys argues a CEO's real job is creating vision, building culture, and developing people, not getting stuck in operations. When leaders step back from the details, their teams grow, stay engaged, and follow them forward.
I've worked with lots of people in the recruiting space to get freed up, and they're like, what do I even do with my time? Which is laughable for most people who are listening. They're like, I would kill for that. Like, that's literally what every single person I know goes and go, what's my purpose? What am I supposed to do with my time? I'm like, you create the vision. You do the funnest part of a job. It's not the easiest one. Oh no. But creating a vision, focusing on building your people by stepping into the CEO thinking mindset, and then we free up all this space for people to progress, which is how we retain them and why they're so passionate about the vision, because We always forget the concept of a leader. A leader is in motion and people are following the leader. So if we aren't in motion up the organization's org board, they are literally stuck when we are. So we're progressing and we do our jobs right, they progress with us, and that's how we retain and build a dream team. Most productive use of the leader is envisioning the future, is creating culture.
