🦸 The best way to develop your talent

Let's talk about your top employee.

The one who's got your back 24/7.

They're so good, you can't imagine life without them.

But how do you scale beyond your one-person show without everything falling apart?

Employ the “Mini-Me” strategy. 

Here's how it works:

1. Have your full-time, top talent hire their own assistant.

2. Let THEM choose who it is, no exceptions.

3. Have them delegate their most rote, low-level outputs to their new assistant

   1. (Your right-hand person is still responsible for these outputs)

4. With their freed up time, give them new, higher-level things to work on.

This will go 1 of 2 ways.

Sometimes, they’ll pick a TERRIBLE hire…

And it becomes obvious they’re not a great leader, and lack the potential you’d thought. 

No big deal!

They can still produce great work as an individual contributor…

They’re just gonna be an assistant forever.

But sometimes…

They’ll knock it out of the park…

And find someone who quickly clears out 20 hours a week of their lower-level tasks.

With all that freed up time, you can start throwing your bigger challenges, like:

• Creating SOPs

• Implementing new tools like ClickUp

• Interviewing and hiring more people (I might link to my old newsletter called ‘ i invented a job and you need it yesterday)

Eventually, the newbie they’ve trained works their way up to doing every output your top employee was handling…

And your star team member’s now an operations manager, with 3-4 folks working under them.

Either way, you win.

However…

If you don’t have access to a global talent pool of vetted, high-quality folks to hire in the first place?

You’ll be looking for a LONG time before you find people with potential to grow into roles with more responsibility.
