Are you getting the right opportunities?

This is a good mental model for manager-employee relationship at different stages (buckets).

1. Your skills match your opportunities - you perform.

2. Your skills are less than your opportunities - you need coaching to grow the skills.

3. Your skills are larger than your opportunities - you need another place with bigger opportunities.

It is very much aligned with my previous post on manager-employee relationships:

1. business partners

2. athlete-coach

3. actor (actress)-producer.
