What's up everyone, this is Alex Lieberman,

co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.

Welcome back to Founders Journal,

my personal audio diary where I give you the business builder,

the tools you need to think better in order to build better,

whether that's building a business,

a team, or a new product.

Today, I'm going to talk about one of

the hardest jobs of every manager.

Let's hop into it.

I'm going to break down

a situation that happens all of the time in business.

You've hired someone you're super excited about.

They're about two weeks into their job.

They've just been onboarded and in your head,

you're excited for them to start cranking out stuff and adding value.

Then you get to the one month mark and nothing has really happened yet,

but you chalk it up to it's still being really early

and so you continue to monitor how they're doing.

Then you get to month two

and you start getting concerned.

We've been at the company for 60 days.
