MANAGERS PUT OUT FIRES. EXECUTIVES MAKE SURE THEY STAY OUT.
Three months after a promotion to executive, Sarah was working longer hours than ever and things were still slipping. In the first live episode of Bred To Lead, Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs explains why: she was still managing what she should have been overseeing. Managers own the how and the what. Executives own the why, the when, and the where.
IN THIS EPISODE • Why "I can do their job" is how managers burn the bridge to their executives • The operations leader whose firefighting strength became his weakness, and the questions that fixed it • What King David learned as a shepherd, a harp player, and a warrior before he ever became king • "We make 10 million a year, why can't I get $1,000?" and the business fundamentals behind the answer
YOUR CHALLENGE Name one shift you can make this week to start thinking like an executive: stop solving the fire and ask what system would prevent it.
