Episode notes
Minimalist Management Works
- Managers overestimate how much they can shape employees and should focus on removing obstacles instead of constant intervention.
- Pre-baked systems free people to do good work and reduce manager bandwidth needs.
Replace Status Meetings With Written Prompts
- Replace one-by-one reporting with asynchronous written updates to remove reporting bottlenecks.
- Ask simple weekly and daily prompts so information flows without a manager summarizing everything.
Limit The Emotional Burden Of Management
- Managers are not qualified to be part-time psychologists or life coaches in addition to managing.
- Shrinking how much personal life you ask employees to bring can improve focus and reduce misery.
