🤦 Why you should let your leaders fail (*sometimes)

How occasionally letting your team leaders fail can ultimately lead to success

Sometimes, instead of stepping in and stopping them…

It’s better to let your leaders fail.

Let me explain…

I’ve been working with a young, ambitious founder in one of our portfolio companies.

By month 2, he’d brought the agency to $20k/month in revenue, and confidently forecasted he’d hit $100k/month by month 5.

I immediately knew he had no idea what he was talking about, and didn’t understand operations or scaling teams.

But I didn’t say a word.

Instead, I let him run with it.

Escape Agency Overload

Stressed? Frustrated? Growing tired of agency life? I & my team will transform your agency into a self-sustaining machine, like we have for 800+ other agencies, so you can escape the prison of servicing clients and finally be a business OWNER instead of an operator.

Two weeks into month 3, sh*t hit the fan:

  • He got overwhelmed

  • Started falling behind on work

  • Client deliverables started falling through the cracks

Now, had I told him this would happen upfront, he wouldn’t have believed me.

He needed to experience the fallout to understand his limits and listen.

Key takeaway: Sometimes, failure is the best teacher.

Next time you see one of your leaders charging ahead with unrealistic goals… 

Consider letting them fail (safely).
