I've negotiated employee compensation countless times.

Most people make simple mistakes that cost them $1,000s.

Here's how to negotiate a raise and get paid what you're worth.🧵
1/ As year end approaches, so does that dreaded office ritual:

Performance reviews

I detailed the tactics you need to get the recognition you deserve.
2/ Right after, companies start to plan & budget the next year.

And guess what the biggest expense is for most companies?

You.

Their people.

So if you deserve more money, now is your ideal moment to ask.

I've trained 100's of managers.

The 60% who fail make one mistake:

They don't delegate

Here are 9 tactics to win more by doing less 🧵
1/ What should you delegate?

Everything. Not a joke.

You need to design yourself completely out of your old job.

Set your sights lower than that & you'll delegate WAY less than you should.

But don't freak out:

Responsibly delegating that much will take months.
2/ Set Expectations w/ Your Boss

The biggest wild card when delegating is not your team.

It's your boss.

You don't need to be perfect, you just need to show you're in control.

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?

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🧵
New to NFTs?

@hey_bernie with a simple breakdown

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.
