| 0:20.9 | Hey Bob here. Welcome back to the show episode 440. Today we're going to be talking |
| 0:28.6 | about leadership and I want to share with you a common mistake that's made with good intentions that I see a lot of people making when they recruit someone new to their team. |
| 0:41.0 | And it is something that they don't even realize is holding not only |
| 0:45.0 | them back but the people that they sponsor and I want to make sure you don't make |
| 0:48.6 | this mistake. So what I see happen far too often is this, is that we have a tendency to be two hands-on when |
| 1:00.8 | it comes to the way that we work with our new team members. |
