i am currently downloading ~1million documents from government sites, parsing it with AI and generating a hell lot of intelligence from it. ๐
its fun till you see @OpenRouter invoice ๐
every leader's job is to make sure the hardest thing their team deals with is the work itself, not bureaucracy or feeling unappreciated.
when i was right out of college, i learned this the hard way.
i'd never managed anyone before and i was running a 25-person team, most of them older than me.
in my first month as a manager, i messed up so badly that someone on my team cried and almost quit. this was a huge turning point for me.
i knew in that moment that i needed to learn how to be responsible for people. that means giving them clear guidance and mentorship. it also means staying out of their way a lot of the time.
here's 5 practical ways i do that now:
1/ one day a month, i shadow someone on my team for a few hours. then we map what's blocking them and fix it together, and apply it to the rest of their department
2/ in a new hire's first 2 weeks, i walk them through how i prioritize and why. most companies fail to scale because new hires don't understand how the founder thinks, or worse, the direction of the company
3/ with senior people, i define the problem and stay out of how they solve it. early on at wispr when we needed better ads, our cmo built 100 of them himself in figma, tested them, then brought in a team to scale it
4/ when someone needs to grow fast, i give them one thing to own and 30 minutes with me every day. this allowed a 24-year-old on our team to go from small experiments to managing engineers in 8 weeks
5/ i hand off what i used to control. i was deeply involved in every marketing launch we did for a long time. for notetaker, i told our cmo "i trust you with this. we've worked together long enough."
taking care of your team is priority number 1
