Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”\n\nUsing this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…\n\nYou will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5. \n\nBeing high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee. \n\nPlz feel free to steal it as well.\n\nAnd ty @stephsmithio for the framework!","author":{"name":"Alex Lieberman","username":"businessbarista","avatarUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1972685728669634560/iQ0AD43Y_200x200.png"},"createdAt":"Thu Jun 25 17:16:08 +0000 2026","engagement":{"replies":194,"retweets":680,"likes":7309,"views":1076894},"media":{"photos":[{"url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HLrOvtaWYAAafg-.jpg?name=orig","width":1200,"height":648}],"videos":[]},"adhxContext":{"savedByCount":1,"publicTags":[],"previewUrl":"https://adhx.com/businessbarista/status/2070194343034360004"}}
