@JetBlue what happened to you guys? 250 minutes wait to call or chat with you! You won’t let me select seats for my 2 year old? I’ve been trying to for 24 hours now. Do I go to the airport and just hope you have seats??? Do better.

@dklineii I was sick of making it up as I went along. This program moved me from defence to offence. Absolute game changer.

60% of all leaders fail in 18 months. Study after study confirms it. Harvard. Gartner. McKinsey. Korn Ferry. -> It's true of first-time managers. -> It's true of C-suite executives. And yet, we know that we can achieve more together than alone. -> That's why we build teams. -> That's why we lead. This tension haunted me. But Marsden and I had been lucky. We worked in places that invested massively in developing leaders. And we were both fortunate to work side-by-side with leaders who walked the talk. So, we compared notes. Were there methods that worked at: -> Goldman Sachs and Moodys? -> Google and Bridgewater? -> Compass and PwC? It turned out: Yes. Those 8 foundational practices became our 12-hour, month-long leadership program that's helped 750+ leaders level up. Our program is not for everyone. There are no hacks. No shortcuts. Zero cheat codes. But we do have practical tactics: -> How to delegate -> How to give feedback -> How to set clear expectations -> How to coach underperformers So if you want to manage more intentionally and lead more systematically while connecting with other committed leaders, we might be for you. mgmtaccelerator.com And because we offer every leader 1:1 coaching, we cap enrollment at 50. We have 7 seats still open. Will you join us?

@dklineii Great post! Delegating ownership is easy. Keeping things structured is hard.

Let me fix your 1:1 meetings in 90 seconds. It only requires two changes: - It's their meeting, not yours - Good questions >> Great directions Here's how to do it: Make It Their Meeting Relinquishing ownership of this meeting is the same as delegating any other work. - Define what excellent looks like - Hold them accountable - Coach to success - Don't step in But how do I get what I need to lead? That's part 2... Good Questions >> Great Directions The easiest way to align on expectations is to preview the questions you want them to answer. If they can answer these well, you can have confidence that they are excellently managing their area (even individual contributors). Here are mine: 1. How are you doing? Want people to produce outsized results? You need to care personally. You'll only know when to show up for them if you know them well. Get a tepid response? Ask again. 2. What's most important for us to focus on? If it is their meeting, they set the agenda. Not only are you empowering them, but you also get to learn how they think. This will help you anticipate what they might miss. 3. How are you tracking against your goals? I want data. Clear metrics. The more tangible, the better. If the goal isn't easily measured, then I want a few qualitative angles that are in tension to surface the truth. Don't be afraid to ask, "What is your confidence?" 4. Are there notable Wins/Losses to discuss? The specific Win or Loss doesn't matter to me as much as: a) Can they separate big from small? b) Are they proactively sharing? My probing questions should uncover very little. 5. What problems are you focused on solving? I don't expect perfection if we're driving hard and creating value. Instead, I want them to have command of their area. - Do they know the problems? - Do the solutions make sense? - Are they making good progress? 6. How are your people doing? Your people are only as good as those that support them. Even individual contributors rely on others. Help them practice sizing up those around them. Make empathy a habit. 7. How are you getting better? When your team is filled with curious and compounding professionals, the result is a team that's agile and resilient. To get there, you must create space for coaching those who coach others. 8. How can I support your success? Hopefully, you've done this throughout the conversation, but it never hurts to ask them directly, "What else do you need to win?" - Remove obstacles. - Provide resources. - Repeat often. If you want access to the management dashboard template I used to delegate my 1:1 meetings, subscribe to my MGMT Playbook for free access. mgmt.beehiiv.com/p/effective-on… There are dozens of practical playbooks for critical management moments. It's the advice your boss should be giving you but probably isn't. And while you're here, why not follow @dklineii for more practical insights on leading high-performing teams?

Building an audience is the most powerful thing you can do online. But most people are stuck. So I made a video course breaking down how I built a 160k audience with no experience. It's free for the first 300 people that like+reply "in" I'll DM you.

Just go up on the roof they said. It’ll be fine they said….

For the British audience: Black Friday is like Boxing Day with better sales.

@TheRealAdamG @OpenAI Well played 👏

Hi, my name is Adam and I am on the GTM team at @OpenAI. Since we are both here, just waiting, would you be interested in learning more about the new ChatGPT Enterprise?

A client of mine is on track to do $600k a MONTH. How? I made him a tool that uses ChatGPT to scrape a list of leads, and email them a custom PDF proposal ...for thousands of leads a day ...with a couple $20 tools Comment "send" to get the full tutorial (must be following)

The highest return on reading time email I get each week is The Saturday Solopreneur from @thejustinwelsh What else should I be reading?

Amazing how one conversation can lead you to reframe something you’ve battled for 6 months. Thank you for the clarity @dklineii

@dklineii Whats your take on this? businessinsider.com/tech-industry-…

@GrammarHippy Yes

Serious question for you guys. Do you want me to write a thread teaching you the art of CopyThinking? Never thought I’d teach it for free. But I feel kinda generous today. And since it’s a BIG deal to me… I’ll need a BIG commitment from you. 600 YES below 👇. Can we do it?

This didn’t age well…

Give me 2 minutes and I'll convince you why building a personal brand is the highest ROI activity you can do right now:

@CurrysServices I’ve taken 2 days off work waiting for you to deliver a washing machine that is a month overdue. Youve cancelled twice without notice and call backs haven’t happened. When did you get this bad? You need to fix this

To teachers everywhere, Thank You. This is in your honor. #Inauguration2021 #CelebratingAmerica #TimesLikeThese
