Less is More

In just a few short weeks, since putting the challenge to my team to begin taking over their divisions more aggressively, I am seeing dramatic changes among our group. The joy is more intense. The growth is more expedient. The results are more frequent. And all that came from me trusting them more and managing them less. We still brainstorm together and I still push them in certain areas, but they are enjoying being free to build their own teams around our clients and their brands and the power of that is intense. They are creating more, bringing more fresh ideas to the table and ultimately, finding their true place within this company we are growing. Under their guidance, we are building new revenue streams (New Site), creating more value for our clients, and growing our tool box. When I was micromanaging, the company was only as strong as I was, but now, the company is exponentially more powerful as it expands under the creative direction of the full team. Turns out that the best thing I have done in a long time is to actually do less.
