Borrowing Lines From Great Leaders Around You
- Lara Hogan
#Leadership #Management
tl;dr: "It’s a lot harder to notice the magic of particular phrases or approaches when you see someone do it." Lara suggest developing this skill by noticing how other leaders speak. What do they say? How do they say it? Watch how they change the direction of the conversation, pause the conversation, decrease tension, create clarity, push back, etc... Lara suggests sitting in on meetings you normally wouldn't e.g. product or sales to pinpoint 3 new techniques or phrases that you can then start experimenting with.

- Kevin Burke
#CareerAdvice
tl;dr: "Besides the fact that people like me get extremely stressed implementing a new algorithm in a time limit without being able to exercise the code, while someone is watching and asking questions, there are diminishing returns to spending the 30th or 40th minute on the same topic, and this is such a tiny part of your job anyway."
