Carl Gould-#70secondCEO-Least Qualified Employee in the Business

Carl Gould #70secondCEO

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. The least qualified employee in any business is the person who just received a promotion.

The skills that they had in the past role don't qualify them for the next role. The dude that did the oil changes is now in charge of the shop. What about oil changes qualifies him to manage the people in the shop?

Let me help you. Nothing. Right? Now, so the second category of person that is the least qualified in any business is the owner of a growing business. Let me explain. If you were a million-dollar business and now you're two and a half million and you've never been two and a half million before, what qualifies you to run a two and a half million dollar business if you've never done it before?

Let me help you. Nothing. For a period of time. Right? There's a skill gap. Right? You were growing, growing, growing, growing, growing, and then you had this big, you know, big hockey stick growth. You've never led an organization at that level.

So you are contributing to the organization, but then for a period of time you drain the organization until your skill gap is closed and then you are now contributing to the organization again. Right?

Does that make sense? Not a good or bad thing. And if you do it right, you will remain the least qualified person in the business for the position that you have. As an owner, that's your goal. Right?
