021 LEARN ENOUGH TO DELEGATE

If you're a leader, you need to learn enough about the elements of your business that are critical to you, but which you are not any good at, and then hire people that can do them way better than you. The reason you need to learn enough about those areas is because you want to be able to ask not just the intelligent questions, but the right questions.  A great example of this is I'm a non-technical. But I've started learning Python because I want to be able to converse with my CTO at the right. I need to understand what it means to do an API call or how our infrastructure is set up, what language stack we're using. But I'm never going to be the person that actually builds a product from the ground up.  That's her job. That's why I hired her, so that I can concentrate on the stuff that I'm good at. And that's stuff like marketing, sales, and finance. Learn enough so that you are able to delegate to others because you wanna be able to ask them the questions that challenge their assumptions and make sure that they are heading in the right direction and that you can concentrate on the stuff that you are great at.
