So I like to let people do their jobs and if they need questions to bounce off me or whatever, that’s fine, but I, I don’t want to hear it as much. I don’t want to hand hold anybody or coddle anybody. I’ve hired you, I’m paying you a good salary, go and do what you are paid to do. Make your mistakes because we all make mistakes, that’s fine. We’ll fix them. But I’d rather you go and do that without my, you know, very, very overly kind of supervision. Go ahead and do what you gotta do and let me do what I gotta do.
