Hey everybody, welcome to
The Leadership Tip Of The Week.
00:00:09:12 - 00:00:12:17
I'm your host, Max Yao, bringing
to you your weekly programme
00:00:13:01 - 00:00:17:10
designed to help to become and remain
the leader about trusts and respects.
00:00:17:17 - 00:00:20:13
Today, I want to talk about
one of the biggest mistakes
00:00:20:13 - 00:00:23:08
people make when working
to implement their goals,
00:00:23:08 - 00:00:26:18
and it's not going to sound
like a big mistake, but it is.
00:00:26:18 - 00:00:31:06
In his book “Who Not How”,
Dan Sullivan explained that
00:00:37:11 - 00:00:40:20
Instead of starting by asking,
“How do I do this?”
00:00:41:00 - 00:00:44:08
You should first ask
yourself “who can do this.”
00:00:44:14 - 00:00:48:09
Who is the person who is best
placed to get this done?
00:00:48:09 - 00:00:53:20
In business, and in life, most people fall
in the “how” trap, thinking that they are
00:00:53:20 - 00:00:56:22
the person who must achieve
a new goal in isolation.
00:00:57:01 - 00:01:01:20
Many entrepreneurs never see
their business ideas become a reality
00:01:02:04 - 00:01:05:18
because they try to achieve
everything on their own.
00:01:06:00 - 00:01:10:24
They don't leverage the time of people
around them and get overwhelmed.
00:01:11:04 - 00:01:15:16
I often get the question from
colleagues and friends who ask me:
00:01:15:20 - 00:01:18:18
How do you manage to
be so active on LinkedIn
00:01:19:01 - 00:01:23:16
when you are CFO of a large organization
and have a wife and three children?
00:01:23:24 - 00:01:27:19
Part of the answer is that I
have a team to support me.
00:01:27:23 - 00:01:31:24
I am fortunate to have Sam, who
manages my social media content,
00:01:31:24 - 00:01:34:22
and Malva, who
edits my videos.
00:01:34:22 - 00:01:37:11
To maximize your chance
of achieving your objectives,
00:01:37:11 - 00:01:43:03
focus on who is best placed to assist you
and delegate the relevant tasks wisely.
00:01:54:15 - 00:01:58:09
I wish you a very good week. I'll see you
again next Monday for another leadership tip.

Until then, take responsibility for
everything that happens to you
00:02:06:00 - 00:02:08:11
and be committed
to serving others.
00:02:08:12 - 00:02:12:17
That's how you become and remain
the leader everybody trusts and respects.
