Dan Sullivan and Steve Krein explore the powerful 4 x 4 Casting Tool™, which can transform how you integrate new team members into your company—and galvanize your current team members to take ownership of their roles. Discover how treating your company like a theater project ensures you have the right people in the right roles for maximum impact.
Show Notes:
- An entrepreneur's primary job is to push things forward, not get stuck in bureaucratic processes.
- The least productive thing you can say to your team as an entrepreneur is, “I’m unhappy with you, but I’m not going to tell you why.”
- The 4 x 4 Casting Tool tells people how you expect them to show up, how they show progress in terms of getting things done, how they can be a hero to you, and how they can drive you crazy.
- It also empowers team members to take ownership of their roles within the company.
- When someone new joins your team, it's your job to tell them what the game plan is and what's expected of them. People can’t read your mind.
- Traditional job descriptions are impersonal and technical, and they fail to capture the nuanced working relationships that can (and should) develop in a growth-focused team.
- Having a Self-Managing Company® means that every team member is managing their constant growth and contributions in the company.
- You can’t complain and create at the same time.
- Remote work has fundamentally changed team dynamics, and it will take more effort to ensure team members feel connected to each other—and your vision.
