In this video, Alex Hormozi shares a simple managerial framework that he learned from his colleague Layla, which consists of a triangle with three reasons why someone may not do what you want them to do:

they don't know you want them to do it, they don't know how to do it, or they are not motivated to do it. Hormozi emphasizes the importance of communicating expectations clearly, repeating them, documenting them, and setting up a communication cadence around them. He also stresses the importance of training employees and providing them with clear instructions on how to do things, as well as how to report on them.

Finally, he reminds viewers that being advanced is simply never not doing the basics, even at scale.
