From the stage:
The day you're promoted, your job changes.
It used to be doing the work.
Now it's growing the people who do the work.
Somebody should tell every new leader that on day one.

Delegating a task isn't the same as developing a person.
A task gets this week's work done.
Development means they can do it without you next month.
Hand over the why, not just the what.

3 ways to keep your best people:
1. Ask what would make them stay, before they start thinking about leaving.
2. Tell them specifically what they do well.
3. Show them a next step they can grow into.
Retention is a leadership skill.

Question for the leaders here:
What's one thing a supervisor did early in your career that you still do today?
Or one thing you promised yourself you'd never do?

Candor without care feels like an attack.
Care without candor leaves people guessing.
Your team needs both, in the same conversation.

Most performance problems start as expectation problems.
If your team can't describe what "done well" looks like, that's a leadership gap, not a people gap.
Clarify before you correct.

Most performance reviews end the same way: a good conversation, then a plan that sits in a file folder until next year.
What changes that:
1. Pick one growth area, not five.
2. Put it on the calendar for the next one-on-one.
3. Ask "what did you try?" every time you meet.

Leaders, a quick one:
What's the conversation you keep putting off with someone on your team?
No names. Just the topic. We'll share what's worked for us in the replies.

Authority gets you compliance. Leadership gets you commitment.
If people only follow you because they have to, you have a title, not a team.
