99 - Leadership is Repetition not Dictation

One of the biggest complaints entrepreneurs have when building a team is that they have to repeat themselves. They feel like their team doesn't listen to them and has a hard time understanding what they want. The issue is one of perspective.

For you things are clear, you can anticipate the future and see where the company is going. For your team is the opposite, they're taking a step off a cliff each day and hoping that it fills in. they will have to have things repeated to them often, especially those that are new. Each time you have to repeat yourself or reinforce something with your team, you should think to yourself that this is the time you're spending so that you don't have to do-it-yourself.

This perspective will help you not only lead a team, the growth of people on your team, and exponentially grow your company.
