Summary

Highly Competent: know your job, do your job, be quick to develop and eager to assume responsibility. Competence is acquired through training, practice, time under tension, experience - for sure. Let’s just not keep making the same mistakes over and over, being told to do things repeatedly, and be happy with minimum standards.

Low Maintenance: don’t require a lot of special handling or attention. At times, things will come up that need to be handled or addressed in order to not distract us from performing. The key here is frequency. If it is a daily maintenance task to get someone to do their job, then I’m looking for someone with a weekly maintenance cycle. And then, I’m already looking for someone with a monthly cycle, and then a quarterly…

No Drama: we already have enough as it is to get along, understand and appreciate differences, and try to figure out how to lead dozens of different personality/talent patterns. If you like to gossip, invent truth, pass judgment, make gros assumptions too quickly, be over sensitive or take things always personal etc, I’m not convinced you are a good fit to be a part of a great team.

Whatever you expect from others, demand of yourself.

LESSONS:
Do your job; well. Be invested in success.
Minimize the special circumstances you need in order to produce.
Don’t create problems. The world has enough already.

0:00.0	Good morning Spartans, Spartan's.
0:02.0	Brian Chantage back on Spartan's stand.
0:04.0	This week I want to talk to you about three things that I look for in an employee or a subordinate
0:10.0	and then ultimately I twist it back on itself and three things that I want to do for
0:14.7	myself for somebody else.
0:17.6	It's highly competent, it's low maintenance, no drama.
0:21.6	Those are my three guiding principles.
0:23.2	Let's talk about highly competent.
0:30.0	Nobody wants to hire somebody that's not good at their job.
0:35.0	Nobody wants to hire somebody that constantly has to ask questions on how to do things,
0:41.0	how to answer, how to perform. I want my subordinates, I want my
0:45.9	employees to be competent at the tasks that I have contracted them to do. I
0:52.1	understand that there's a growth process involved there. Maybe they
0:57.4	have to ask the question once. Maybe they need to be told and shown and
1:01.8	then have to perform it get some remediation but in a very
1:06.9	quick turnaround time they should be executing and operating on their own program
1:11.7	and showing upwards growth.
