## Resource

If you're constantly babysitting your senior team, the problem probably isn't your management style; it's who's sitting in the seats. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy shares a three-part test built around a surprising admission from one of the most powerful CEOs in the world, one who says he doesn't actually like managing people. Darren breaks down the difference between coaching and managing, why a leader who got you to your first big milestone might not be the right one for your next, and why more meetings and one-on-ones are often making the problem worse instead of better. He also offers a structural alternative that companies like Meta and Airbnb use instead. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day.
