I think the article starts great, "people will fill their time with what they love to do if you let them", but does not provide a solution.
In general the work of a manager is precisely that, find the people that will love to do what is required(know about people), understand what is required(know about the needs of people and your customers) and remove all the blocks they could find doing it(know about execution).
Not as easy at it sounds, they are also "naturals" at it.
Doing 90% of your best time in live before dying something you can't be great at because you don't appreciate it is not sustainable in the middle and long term.
- andreasklinger 14y agoYes definitely. Absolutely agree. I tried to focus on that by explaining that founders tend to think of themselves as executors while they are at the same time managers (of themselves) Ad "solution": As you said - i don't really provide many of them - if you got good links to recommend please post them - i will add them! Ad "naturals": I am unsure if managers are born or trained. I know a lot of people who grew in that role.
