He’s an introvert who can “perform” like an extrovert on stage, but big groups drain him dry. And when things go sideways with people who think totally differently, his solution isn’t some mystical personality hack. It’s brutally practical: set expectations early, agree on goals and methods, decide what someone can own without checking in, and measure progress with real numbers.Then he drops the kind of advice that can save your relationships and your blood pressure: when you’re angry, don’t send the email. Let it sit. If it’s still true tomorrow, you can say it tomorrow. And when someone messes up, assume overwhelm or disorganization before you assume betrayal. That one tiny assumption change flips the tone of everything you read, everything you say, and what kind of leader (or partner) you become.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
