Hey everyone 👋
‍
While the wifi is getting quicker and the cloud storage is getting bigger and the video conferencing is getting crisper, there is one aspect of business that’s as dated as a wicker rocking chair... 
‍
How companies(and more specifically managers) manage talent.
‍
Traditionally, the manager-employee relationship goes a little something like this... 
‍
Manager hires an employee to do a job. 
‍
Manager f*cking micromanages every aspect of the way that employee is doing said job. 
‍
Manager “evaluates” the employee once a year… for an hour... where in that hour they’re expected to hole-up and lift the spirits of an individual that’s experienced an entire year’s worth of tight deadlines, unexpected catastrophes, pain-in-the-you-know-what clients, burn-out and so on.
‍
One day, the employee walks into the manager’s office waves sayonara and heads down the street to a company that has built better managers. 
‍
And the old managers are left scratching their heads wondering what went wrong. 
‍
We’ll let you in on a little secret... 
‍
Super-powering talent and keeping that super-powered talent around and at your company has nothing to do with the executive team nor the culture nor the kombucha on tap... 
‍
A company is only as good as its managers and this is why LEON exists: to transform managers into world-class coaches.
