Scaling People Tactics for Management and Company Building

my book, Scaling People, is really more about intentional investment in company operating structures and how you hire and how you invest in teams and people.

So the system in which you operate and the people, which is how you get outsized results, as opposed to that being an afterthought.

It's sort of like how do you do the thing? Templates, outlines of conversations, guides.

I think that when I say management, I think it's a very knowable skill. It's very trainable. It's like, look, I've got an assignment. This is my scope of responsibilities. I've got to get from A to B. So I've got to collect the right portfolio of people, get the best out of them, track progress, set metrics and goals and execute, right? And by the way, coach and understand.

Claire Hughes Johnson, a corporate officer and advisor at Stripe and author of scaling people tactics for management and company building.

I wanted to start my book with principles I've developed over my career as a manager and a leader and I don't, I think people should have their own principles and values but I think these can serve other people well so I wanted to start with them.

I actually think a lot of people once they learn the skill of observing themselves and getting feedback can get more self-aware.

I think that the answer is one I already gave you which is like are you more sort of task or people oriented maybe I didn't and then are you more introverted or extroverted and sort of start to get them plotting on what do you enjoy doing
