Dana White, UFC president, explained how he really manages his team. No clocking in at exactly 9:00 or penalties for arriving late: “We are all adults here”.
“You know what needs to be done. Do your job”. But there is one thing he will not compromise on: if your child has a gathering, a practice, or a game, he expects you to be there. No excuses.
“If your child has a problem at school, I expect you to be there. That is very important to me. We run a completely different kind of business, and one that is healthy for everyone”.
In a world where the average boss measures your value by hours spent in a chair, White decided to measure something different: that you do not miss what truly matters. “We run a completely different kind of business”, he explained. “And one that is healthy for everyone”.
