[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Everyone is not going to be perfect at every task that you give them, and what they need to get there, what we need to do as leaders to get our people to that A-player status, is give them new work, set the expectations clearly, and then be very radically candid in the feedback that we give them when we get their work back.
