Key Takeaways:
Perceptions Matter: Everything you do will be interpreted by your team, so be mindful of your actions and behaviors.
Manage Expectations: No one will meet your high standards perfectly; learn to manage your expectations and delegate effectively.
Protect Your Time: Focus on high ROI tasks and protect your most valuable asset—your time.
Face Your Fears: The tasks you avoid out of fear are often the ones that will move the needle the most.
Hire Slowly, Fire Quickly: Take your time to hire the right people and don't hesitate to let go of those who are detrimental to your culture.
Adjust at the Top: The skills that got you to the top won't necessarily help you succeed there. Adapt and evolve.
Self-Awareness: Your emotional state impacts your team. Be responsible for managing it.
Get a Coach: Even top performers need a coach. An external perspective can help you grow.
Find a Community: It's lonely at the top; find a community for support and camaraderie.
Choose Happiness: You can be right or you can be happy, but you can't be both. Prioritize your happiness and team cohesion.
