as a person in a leadership position what should I do if I consistently notice one of my guys motivating the team and leading them successfully during project submissions better than I can the completion of the mission being the top priority would it be better for me to back down and let my counterpart lead which will benefit the company and its employees and how will I regain my status among them I think this is actually pretty straightforward if you’ve got someone that’s doing a better job leading then let him lead let alieve give him some room learn from him support them the best you can and the best way you can most likely support them is by getting out of the way and letting them do what they’re doing and then get them the support that they need and what this is going to give you the benefit of this now you can instead of looking down and in and managing your team you can look up and out and forward and see what is going on in the future and prep the battlefield and in the future or prep the next market area or look for recruit you know you can move you can lead you can actually lead and let that you know Young Buck handle the things that are going on tactfully on the battlefield right now I used to say this to the to the SEAL leadership I used to say hey the enlisted SEAL leaders handle the problem that is in their face right now the tactical problem that’s in their face right now the officer should be looking at what we’re gonna do next hmm that’s kind of a neat really simple it’s not always like that but that’s a real good starting point and so in this position I’d be like oh I got a young buck that’s coming up and leading well cool that’s gonna allow me allow me to look up and out and be ready to move forward and plan the next move now as far as regaining your status as a leader you won’t really need to because if you do this properly you’ll be seen as a leader who is confident enough to let a subordinate leaders step up and lead while I go and move forward the you’d have to regain if you were there shutting this person down and trying to micromanage and doing a worse job than everyone on the team knows that guy could do a good job mm-hmm let him do it yes that’s about confidence really it’s about like do you have are you confident and are you secure in your leadership oh yeah to step aside yes no problem we love it hey yo you really good at this cool you step in there and do it I can Oh probable that will you get the occasional person that’s like oh look Jose Jose letting that guy do it cuz he doesn’t know what he’s doing occasionally yeah 1 out of 20 people will be that big mr negative that’s fine yeah you know then then what’s cool is when you’re on the outside guess what you are when you’re when you let someone else put on the team guess what you have guess what you have do test yes Charles yes and we have detachment and so now you’re gonna be able to see things that even that leader that’s better than you can’t see and then when you come in you’re gonna look like the tactical genius because you point something out but they didn’t notice because they were in the firefight technical genius here’s the way it works things good yeah that’s hard to do that man with something doing better than you you know oh man yeah that’s right I mean the oh I say Tate what takes confidence this is it’s such a good example of keeping your ego in check because what you just said everything feels and when you feel that that’s when you go oh cool I’m my egos getting out of control it’s fine you just put it in check and let this person to lead and I’ll move you know check out what we’re gonna do next I’ll look ahead on the battlefield I’m trying to think like oh you said there occasionally there will be a guy would be like oh he doesn’t know he’s doing so he’s let him do I I’ve been in that situation or my boss actually I’ve been the guy who my supervisor like said oh yeah you like you to handle you take this you know you got this one kind of thing and I’m like yeah you’re doing it cuz you don’t know you’re doing kind of thing and everyone knew that and so I’ve been in that situation where I’m looking at them but now think about this think about if instead of him just saying hey you go on run this thing I think everybody said hey echo you’re really good at this you’re better than I am yeah you step up run this I’m gonna be over here looking where we’re on next what would you think that yeah so he’s actually said that before like a couple times and it every single time it made me feel way better like yeah even though I mean of course the truth will set you free yeah so I feel like if I was one of the domani you know one of the team guys on the teams thinking that I think I wouldn’t think that if yeah if he did that kind of stuff or if or if as long as he didn’t act like this is the cure to heart of leadership the see account there’s all counter-intuitive you think that if you hide it yeah yeah it’s better mm-hm and the better thing to do is be like hey echo is really good at this he’s better than I am and he’s gonna step up and run this thing and people are like oh wow chuckles super confident is leadership they don’t they don’t verbalize in their head that right that’s just the feeling like ya know chocolates doesn’t care who’s running this thank you yeah we’re good it’s good man yeah so watch out for that just keep your ego in check yes sir at all times
