0:00 I had a conversation the other day with somebody who reports into me and I said, "Hey, I don't think I've seen nearly the production from you as I expected. I think it's less than you're capable of. Would you agree?" That way it's not an insult. I'm saying like, "I just think you're doing less than I think your your potential is." And he was like, "Yeah, I would agree." And I said, "Okay, do you think it's because there's only five reasons? So, did you know not know that I wanted you to do this thing? Did you not know what I wanted you to do? Did you not know how to do it? Were you not motivated to do it? Or did you have something that was getting in your way?"

I said, "How long has this taken you?" He said, "Three weeks." And I said, "Do you think you can do more than that?" He said, "Yes." And I said, "Great. Here's a bunch more stuff that you can do. Get it done by tomorrow." And then he got it done by that night. He heard it loud and clear, but I wasn't like, "You suck.
