Let Them Own It
by David Altimari on March 1, 2010
What Max stated on his personal blog “Let Them Own It” is true in many ways. Not only does molding one of your soldiers into an MVP make the company money and add value to the overall team, but it truly leads that employee to victory and jump starts them into a successful career.
I would also like to comment on the “don’t micromanage” bullet point that Max included. Micromanaging does a whole lot of bad. It scares employees, and the last thing you want is to scare someone into doing their job. Working for a startup is stressful enough, and the added pressure from a neck breather is just not necessary. Giving an employee the tools to do his job is necessary, but if you feel the need to micromanage, then you need to re-evaluate your hiring process, as well as your own managerial skills, or lack thereof.
Please study these “Do’s” and “Dont’s”. If taken lightly, you simply will not succeed, but if you take note and apply these particular strategies into your overall business model, good things are to come. Scratch that, GREAT things are to come!
