9:34 this is such a true statement. A leader/manager doesn’t make himself good, the people under him do. I’m a manager and have been for many years. I’ve consistently hired people smarter than I am for just this reason. Many of these people have gone on to become doctors, lawyers and small business owners. And I couldn’t be more proud of them.
Wow that’s amazing! Hiring is probably one of the most underrated skill that have an outsized impact on businesses. Any tips for other managers in the community?
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP I look for innovative individuals, young and old alike. Those that can problem solve and 'think outside the box' (cliché, I know). But seriously, can they relate their life experiences to problem solving on the job. Can they collaborate with others. Lead, and follow, as needed. And always check their excitement and enthusiasm. You'll hear it in their speech, and see it in their eyes, if you look closely. I can teach them the basics of the job I'm hiring them for, but I can't teach them these things that I've mentioned.
The Peter Principal is in full effect in IT. Putting Developers, Architects, or (heaven forbid) Engineers in management positions creates issues. This creates bureaucracy, internal politics, and employee turnover (remember, people leave due to bad managers).
6 years ago, when I was appointed to my first leadership role, I was terrible. Sometimes I cringe thinking about 'the dark ages'. I wasn't effectively trained for the role. Yeah, I did 'leadership' courses, but they focused heavily on theory instead of practice. I see it around me every day and I feel empathy for other managers. If I didn't reach out to others to get mentorship and coaching, I would probably still be making the same mistakes year over year. If you have a horrible boss, give them some grace. Be candid but discreet because they are in most cases not fully self-aware to admit they have a problem.
I never understood why there are just so many terrible managers everywhere. Now it makes so much sense! I need to make sure I don't end up being one of them. Always love your explanations that go beyond the surface level stuff 💪
I highly recommend Clifton Strength’s finder to identify major skills. It takes into account strong sides and weak spots for each of 5 major skills. According to Clifton coaches there are no bad skills for the position.
I just left a situation where the supervisor was moved into a position he never even tried to get good at, and after six years learned nothing about the position and even admitted he doesn't like to tell people what to do. On top of that, he never wanted to look into possible changes to save the company money. Being a chit chat artist was enough to put him in charge and he constantly hires people who don't want to work and his boss doesn't understand the job well enough to see the problem. (Everyone from different departments see the issue, but it might be too late for the company in this economy.)
All your videos are great. I’m glad I happened across your channel last week - I’ve been binge watching but also taking notes and making sense of the information you are sharing. Thank you so much.
This is one of the best advice I've ever heard for workers looking to grow in their careers. So glad to have subscribed to this hidden gem! Hope your channel thrives!

hmmmm this is very interesting... I have seen exactly what you are describing MANY times but didn't realize there was a name for it! Love your delivery as well very clear and engaging 😃
Interesting thoughts! A lot of my jobs success relies on networking and politics, if I need to make something happen in my department I need often times support from other leaders in their own departments to buy in and help me achieve my goals. Do I identify who the movers and shakers are in those other departments and ask to meet with them one on one and basically try to get out of them what their goals, what they want to accomplish, while trying to find their areas of incompetence? How do I do that in a natural networking way?
How do you deal with managers that are incompetent and yet insecure and paranoid to accept your help? Should you go and try to offer your skills to get their KPI to the boss of your boss?
Sales isn’t hard when you yourself believe in and use the product. I was real good at making upsells last year working in a cookie shop. 😅 My longterm goal is to inspire people in my workplace team how to teach themselves to sit in a way that doesn’t cause stiff hamstrings at the end of the day. I’m on my way doing this for myself but would be happy to train it with others at the same time. ❤
Love your channel Vicky - you are amazing. Great content and well explained! I see how you naturally create connections when you point to other courses offered by you that one can take. :)
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP just laughing because its just like his videos where he goes to black n white n does a funny voice. i guess thats a common thing with these type of videos
This is also why relationships Fail also. Most includeing myself have been in 3 marriages! And my current wife wants me to do things like having Her family live with us! Holy crap! I'm being set up to Fail!

Thank you 🙏 it's funny how our society is set up for incompetence 🙈

Vicky, why not pin this comment to the top?
You can only set the terms if you have something to offer that they want. That's a potent truth to remember.

Thank you Matt! I was surprised by it too. Wish more people talked about the Peter Principle haha
Another excellent video. I'm using your content to upgrade and salvage my work ethic beliefs, because I'm working in a not-so -helpful environment.

Vicky thank you for all the things you have shared with us on thinking in framework. They are helpful and practical
Hey thanks for making this Vicky! Got a ton of value from this :)
Thank you for watching! Keep me posted on how this goes!
6:44 scared me lol. Great video btw, I liked the part about managing up.

That's awesome, I myself took on a few sales jobs and I got pretty good at upselling myself over the phone. (TV AD placements)
