I love this - I'm not a people manager, don't want to be, but if I WAS, my philosophy would be exactly the same "my role is to make you too good to be here"

Human skills are important in self-awareness. It is the most certain requirement that is shared between all manager roles. Thank you.

Hello!

Empathy is indeed a quality that any good leader must have!

6:21 Before when it comes to selecting people for officer training, the selection panel use to look at what school did you go to eg Eton, Harrow etc. Now the officer training selection panel would look at if you are/ were a captain of a football/ rugby team, from which they would see if you got good communication and motivation skills. Military selection boards realise the people are not motivated by a leader whose got a first class honours degree in English Literature or Classical History Studies.

From my experience, face to face interviews NEVERstsrt in time You are expected to arrive 15-20 minutes before the set interview time. However you often find tind that you would wait in the reception area 15- 20 AFTER the set time before someone meet up with you. Even then they may not selected an interview room plus they nay have to wait fir the rest of the interview team to arrive. That would often take 30 minutes the set agreed time of the interview. You have to show you have the ability to "plan ahead" but they themselves "do practice what they preach".

You danced around the entire issue. 😂😂

Any tips for when we fired him? _But why did you fire him?_ Well, we didn't know he was a top performer until after we fired him.

Great advice thanks

Never had regular 1:1 meetings with a boss. They are always one-off things to discuss something, and usually an email, phone call, or passing in the hall. The only "official" meetings I've had like this were the annual reviews where I found out how small my raise would be that year.

There is also the issue of the vacuum at the top = we've all worked with leaders who were unqualified for their roles and had simply moved through the company getting promoted but never quite achieved the skills of leadership. It drives out the qualified and talented middle management layer. In my experience its the top leadership failing has made most of my colleagues leave their otherwise great jobs!

Just quit my toxic company that was not promoting me as a team lead even though I was demonstrating all the characteristics as an SME. The first company i interviewed grabbed me as a Team Lead. Excited about the new official role. And great video btw!! Very detailed.

I needed this video. Thank you.

New in my position and start managing people. Thank you for this!

Am so thankful that I get to know Simon, his lectures.💖

I am placement co-ordinator of my class ,give me suggestions for make my class involves in the group activities

I worked for a company for 28 years - was one of if not the most dependable employees they had, had a perfect safety record, and did my job well. The best jobs kept being given to the new employees, the excuse given - "we really need them and they might quite" the few times I put in to use vacation days in advance the WAY I WAS SUPPOSE TO - almost every time got called in "such and such had an emergency and HAD to be off we need you to come in" because of my years of experience I was one of the highest paid and was told "No one can have over time" come to find out and it wasn't hard to catch them in the lie, they were giving the new employees over time. I finally had enough and put in my papers and retired. They can't keep anyone on my job now and are short about 8 employees. They called asking me to come back as a full time sub. there is no way I am going back - 28 years and no appreciation why should I bail them out now.

Thank you for the advice, so useful in such a tricky time

Under valued ,took for granted expectations of said person will always be there lack of comunication lets face it talking is a basic fundemental of working in a company The ist is not exhaustive sometimes a employee has given so much for so long but got little back in return he/she remains in the background to the hierarchy because they are good at what they are not checked in by the ones above I know a few.

look inward bad manager people leave managers not jobs

Simon sinek is only one?😊

The best video. The pace, tone and content are perfect for me.

Junior level people always do that they lead themselves, lead their project, lead their Budget, lead their family, unless he/she leads their duties and takes responsibilities, they can't be successful. If you say that leading people is the leadership, Probably That's wrong with many successful leaders and with many company's structure.

Just became Head of backend development, so any help is welcome!

In a well-run company, when a top performer leaves, the junior employee who has been managed so that he/she has grown and is ready to fill the position is moved into the position, and other junior employees are moved up, and the new bottom-level opening is filled by HR. In a poorly-run company, where employee growth is not cultivated, HR is tasked with finding someone just like the guy who left, while his workload is haphazardly divided between his supervisor and some of his subordinates.

I've seen this happen when the Team Lead refuses to deal with squabbles between workers that evolve into a nasty feud. In other words the team lead refused to do their job and deal with it properly..toxic leadership.

I love this guy, but… being a former grunt I must ask: what the heck is “Air Force Special Forces”?!!! 😂 a helicopter pilot from the Air Force? 🤣

Happened to me just this week

I quit my job because I hated being the loyal yet pathetic worker. I was always the slow one, the guy who easily messed up and needed someone to guide him (my brain is wired differently). Heck, I remember the time I accidentally set the wedding reception tables with black linens instead of white, due to being so used to setting the former for most other events. My ex-boss was impatiently puzzled by that. That's when she started thinking I couldn't do shifts by myself. And then one day, I overheard her conversation with a colleague about how my coworker Sam and I would manage this one service by ourselves. "They'll be fine. Sam is very smart, strategic, and a great leader, and John...is very willing and diligent." You see that? She talked about how Sam was so brainy and innovative and I was just so good and hardworking. She reflected on his skills and on my choices. She clearly enough didn't think I was capable of anything. So it's a good thing I'm such a good guy who works hard, because that's all I got going for me. And that's why I left the job. A beautiful girl wouldn't want to put on makeup and do her hair if it makes her a dumb blonde. And a good kid wouldn't want to do the right thing all the time if it made them a goodie-two-shoes. Do you guys see my point?

a very nice video. Many thanks for sharing.

practical examples would have been much helpful, tho.

nice tips . Sounds crazy but actually nothing works. Managing a team being the best example does not work, either.

3 month notice. Lmfao. Never.

Spot on Paul👍

More money, more rest time... Im willing to leave my company whenever my lady need it

I'm addicted to this content. I recently read a similar book, and I was completely addicted. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

Difficult time for the employee, are you sure about that?

just got team lead job at holiday inn. start 04.01.2024.

Top performers leave because of pay and bad management.

13:01 No, you don’t.

11:31 Wrong. A leader is no more, but no less either, than any of those whom he leads. Simon, you talk about the leader eating last. First of all, a leader makes sure that there’s enough food for everybody and he/ she eats with the others. You don’t want a leader with stomach ulcers and cranky because he/she is hungry. All this (self-)sacrificial ideology is for narcissists.

4:29 If you are in a position of real responsibility and you cannot do it for whatever reason, fucking do the decent thing and quit.

7:38 Aww…my little Hero. I’m so proud of you, child. Well done. Want a candy and a golden star? 👶🍭⭐️

6:59 Being a monkey with a gun who is good at taking orders is the antithesis of leadership.

2:17 Moron. Nobody can be trained to be a leader. A leader is a leader because he cares about the others. And has big balls to stand- up for them. If the leader is, also, intelligent and knowledgeable in that particular field, even better, but not essential.

0:39 Indeed. They don’t think about employees, society, and all that. They’re too fucking busy.

I’ve been made redundant for the second time (I’ve only had 2 jobs!) and it’s from a job with a high salary and a bit of a dead end in terms of progression. I’m so scared for the future because the job is so niche. You’re the first video I’ve come across that’s put a positive spin on this and not just gone through legalities. You’ve made me feel so vindicated and I want to thank you so much. I’ve had a depressing past week and it’s the first time I’ve had an ounce of motivation to get myself back up on my feet again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, liked and subscribed, can’t wait for more

thank you for having only him speak and for having no stupid motivational music on...... this is a good video!

My last interviewer did not know what day of the week it was but I did not get the job! Go figure.
