This is the Jaco D brief podcast episode three with Dave Burke and me Jaco Willink Dave

Let's debrief. What do you got?

I've got a

Really small tech company

That's actually doing pretty well. Even despite what's going on small company, but they're growing a bunch

They they work in the software space and they're actually doing just fine, which is actually cool because not every company is doing so well right now

Working with the COO kind of the number two. There's a small enough company that everybody kind of there's a lot of overlap on their jobs

There's only like 15 or so folks here

So they all have a lot of overlap, but he's head of operations

He's really designed to make sure this thing is working

He has someone working with him the CT of the chief technology officer that is

Really critical to the operation kind of the driver behind the software that they're building

But he's really hard to deal with and actually what what the problem is having is that this CTO who's really sharp is

Overseparate his bounds is kind of getting in his peers business. He's his ego is

Kind of running out of control and he's creating a whole bunch of friction across the organization and there's a little bit of a fear that if he

He's kind of irreplaceable that nobody has the corporate knowledge

He has nobody really understands what he does and he's positioned himself that they're they're having or they feel like they have to

Tolerate the way he is because of what he knows and what he can do and this chief operating officer is struggling with how to handle that situation

Well, clearly there's an issue if you've got

People on your team that are irreplaceable, right?

We don't want to let that happen. We don't want to let it happen for defensive reasons

Meaning meaning you know, we don't we don't want to be put ourselves in a situation where we lose somebody for whatever reason
