Hey new manager.

Are you:

- Drowning is a sea of tasks, plans & new ideas?

- Struggling to deliver feedback that inspires change?

- Frustrated you can't attract top talent to your team?

What you need is a management system that works🧵
These stats should scare you:

❌ 40-60% of U.S. executives fail (Harvard)

❌ 40% of CEOs fail (Korn Ferry)

❌ 40% of executives & corporate officers fail (McKinsey)

How about brand new managers?

❌ 60% of new managers fail in their first 18 months (Gartner CEB) 👀
But if the star employees are the ones being promoted, how could more than half fail?

"Because what got you here won't get you there." - Marshall Goldsmith

Do you still feel confident that you're going to win that coin toss?
For two decades, I've managed & mentored 100's of new managers at:

- A global consulting firm
- An ivy league university
- A fortune 500 financial services firm
- The world's largest hedge fund

The companies & teams are different, but the principles to succeed are similar.
Yes, you'll need to find your own style.

But there are mindsets, methods & tactics that set future leaders apart from mediocre middle managers.

A efficient system gives you leverage to focus your creative energy on helping your team thrive.

An example:
After my 3-week cohort course you'll have a working system to:

- Lead w/ intention
- Do less & delegate more
- Catch & fix problems early
- Build a supportive community of peers
- Harness your personal competitive advantage

Plus work w/ 29 other new managers in our community.
Join the waitlist and I'll start sharing my best resources with you right away.

If you're one of the first 10 to join today, I'll schedule a 20 min 1:1 call to help you crack your most pressing management problem.

Are you ready?

Root Cause Analysis (aka The 5 Whys) is a common consulting tactic.

But it can actually fuel personal development.

I've run 100's of these sessions and learned one key truth:

The 6th Why is the one that matters 🧵
1/ The 5 Whys?

It's a diagnostic problem solving technique popularized by Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist & Toyota founder.

I practiced it at Bridgewater where it was the critical inflection point in Ray Dalio's 5-step process.
2/ The Theory

Ask Why questions to identify the underlying root cause of an issue.

Then make changes to improve outcomes in the future.

The deeper you dig, the higher the leverage of the fix.

Put simply: Don't treat the symptom, cure the disease.

Giving Tuesday x Charitable NFTs:

Good projects that are also doing good🧵
NFT are more than JPEGs

But you can't just read about them:

- Join a discord
- Get whitelisted
- Try minting one
- Setup your wallet
- Sell on @opensea
- Learn about DAOs

This is the future of fractional ownership.

Like owning a piece of the @GreenbaypackNFL w/ $ upside.

Are you missing better opportunities while heads-down in your work?

One way to find out: Join a DAO

Here's a simple primer on DAOs and 11 options to explore🧵 Image
1/ Yes, it’s worth crushing your job.

But you should also explore & experiment to discover what sparks joy for you.

You need to answer the question: am I climbing the right hill?
2/ Community >> Networking

📉Networking: Attending a conference & collecting business cards stills gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It’s a takers game.

📈Community: Generously helping build and cultivate, lifting others w/o expectation is more authentic.

It’s a givers game.

Wait, what?

Bloomberg: "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday that his agency will use about $1 billion from President Joe Biden’s public works legislation to remedy racial inequities in U.S. highway design..."

Why not $1B in education grants to minority students?
The big dig in Boston took 16 years and cost $24B.

So we're talking about maybe, maybe moving one major highway this decade. wbur.org/news/2012/07/1…
Average annual in-state tuition is 10K/year, so 40K/student for a 4-year degree.

Don't waste $1,000's of dollars on a cohort based course.

Use these 13 tactics to get the most from your investment 🧵
1/ Find a buddy

Best version: sign up with a friend or partner for brainstorming & mutual accountability

Back up plan: review profiles and make fast friends with those that share common interests

Role models: @MrJacobEspi & @rolanddaher showed me how this is done
2/ Show up early

In my first CBC, a deep convo was always underway when I dialed in.

Yesterday I dialed in 15 mins early and got 10 solo minutes with @aaditsh and @brandonthezhang - their generosity in those 10 min alone were worth the full cost.
