Here’s the truth: building a real team isn’t about giving orders and checking tasks off a list. Anyone can do that. But building something extraordinary? That takes guts—and I’m here for it.
I could play it safe. I could tell everyone, “You do this, you do that,” and call it a day. But where’s the fun in that? Where’s the impact? If I wanted a regular team doing regular things, I wouldn’t be here. I want to build something that matters—and if I fail, I want to fail knowing I gave it everything. No compromises.
Why Mediocrity Isn’t an Option
I get it—my approach isn’t for everyone. But if you’re on this journey with me, know this: I’m not here to babysit. I’m not here to micromanage. I’m here to push boundaries and do things others won’t. And I need a team that can handle that.
I operate, not supervise. That means I expect everyone to step up, speak up, and have each other’s backs. When things go south, you don’t just stand there. You act. You take responsibility, even if it’s not in your job description. Because when you’re capable, you carry the weight. Period.
The Spider-Man Rule: With Power Comes Responsibility
If you’re the most capable person in the room, guess what? The bar is higher for you. It’s not fair, but it is what it is. You don’t get to sit back and watch the train wreck. You step in and make sure it doesn’t happen.
It’s not about being a hero; it’s about being a teammate. And that means having each other’s backs when things get messy. You might think, “It’s not my job.” But when you’re in the room, it is your job.
The Test of a Real Team
Here’s the ultimate test: can you hold things together when I’m not there? Because if the team falls apart the moment I step away, we don’t have a real team—we have a collection of individuals.
I know this approach is tough. It isn’t comfortable. But nothing worth doing ever is. And if this team doesn’t work? I’ll rebuild it from scratch, as many times as it takes. Because I’d rather go big or go home—and I don’t plan on going home anytime soon.
So, ask yourself: Are you just here to get by? Or are you here to build something worth fighting for?
