Respect Comes From Knowing Whose Goals Matter

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

We need two things going at the same time at a high level, and they are trust and respect. So trust we defined as having common goals or interests. So there you are, you're talking to another person, whose goals or interests matter? Yours or theirs? Who thinks it's yours? Like, it's really important that everyone knows what I like to do so they can talk about it when I want to talk about it. Or theirs? Not a trick question guys, go ahead.

This is the audience participation part of the presentation. I'm going to ask a question and you'll raise your hand for one or the other. There's not a third option, okay? So if it wasn't yours, then it's definitely theirs. All right, so let's try again, okay? So whose goals and interests matter? Yours or theirs? Theirs, right on, it wins, okay.

Low performers, who complains about not being accountable.

Low performers, you're getting it, right? Go to battle with those that you could do that. All right, so now I'll give you some of the trends that I'm seeing. All right, so we do business and we've advised companies in 78 countries.

One of the advantages of that is we see trends before they come here and we also, for our other than US clients, we see the trends here and we can run over there and say, hey, guess what's coming, right? As much as anything else right now, for the next five years, you are gonna win on the how.

So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like high performers. Don't put them in the same room. You can find all the research. You put a high performer and a low performer in the same room. A low performer will drag down the high performer 15 to 35% in their productivity, 15 to 35%. You're better off just getting rid of the lower performer. Yeah, but who's gonna answer the phone? Oh, geez, we'll figure that out. Oh yeah, but I don't have anyone to go to the trade show. Oh, so what? Better an empty booth than what you put in that booth, right? Make sure to be, again, award your higher standard people. By the way, I know accountability is a challenge in a lot of businesses. Not when you have high performers. They love scorecards because they're always winning. Accountability only hurts when you're not meeting your goals.
