Why Working With People Who ‘Figure It Out’ Is a Key To Success

Diary of a Doer

This episode is for the “figure it out people.” The ones who don't need to be told what to do in order to make some really great things happen.

I know from experience that when you work as an Executive Assistant, you can be asked to help your Executive with almost everything. Planning a funeral, catching and relocating a groundhog, or revising an itinerary when a lunch and a flight conflict.

How do you make it work? Well, you figure it out.

Today, I want to talk about why as a Leader it’s OK and important to want to work with people who are capable of “figuring it out.”

In today’s episode you’ll hear:

- Why as a Leader it’s OK and important to want to work with people who are capable of “figuring it out.”

- How your team can exceed your expectations when you don’t solve problems for them.

- Why not everything is fair game to ask of your assistant -- boundaries are important!

- How to empower your team to make decisions on your behalf, while allowing mistakes to happen.
