If you are watching this YouTube channel, you are a high performing person. Otherwise you would be watching something else. So you are probably hard working, good at your job, super smart, well dressed and well put together. You are a high performer.
There is a problem in business that high performing people struggle with: dealing with incompetent people. Incompetent people drive you insane. This is a problem you need to realize you have and how to deal with it. This is a conversation I wish someone had with me when I first started my career, because it would have saved me so many headaches.
I am going to start with what NOT to do when dealing with an incompetent person. If you get nothing from this video, take this one piece of advice. Do not go into a rage. This is your natural impulse because you are trying to get things done. This person is an obstacle to you. Your natural impulse is to do three things:
1) Confront the person
2) Contact their boss
3) Get them fired
Do not do any of these things. These are negative actions that are not going to help you achieve your goals. So in dealing with incompetent people, you should NOT go into a rage.
The first level is to avoid the situation. Spend as little time as possible dealing with incompetent people. As soon as you realize you are dealing with an incompetent person, instead of going into a rage, try to focus your mind on removing yourself from that situation as quickly as possible. You are in the situation because you need something. But think about how you can get what you need and move on. If you turn the situation into a big deal, all that will happen is it turns the situation into a big time sink. It is going to take time you could be spending focused on things that are more productive. Do not waste your time. So if you can do nothing else, try to avoid the situation.
If you are able, you can move to the second level of maturity, which is to appreciate their contribution. Now this might be difficult if they are really incompetent. But I believe that everyone is trying to do their best. They might not be up to your standards, but maybe they have a different background then you. Maybe they have had different training then you. So if you can switch your mindset from “this person is incompetent” to appreciating their contribution, that shows your maturity. This cannot be fake appreciation. You need to really appreciate what they are bringing to the table.
If you can achieve that, you can move to the third level of maturity. This is where it gets tough. This is going to take a lot of humility. You need to realize you are the same. You and this incompetent person are the same individual. On a macro level, we all share the same human experience. We all share growing up, relationships, making a living, and death. It is true that we all have different experiences. But we are just different perspectives in this same crazy thing we call life. We are all the same.
