If you're an outlier, high in compassion, creativity, abstract thinking, courage, or standard of quality, you will feel rejected, unloved, and misunderstood. There is no significant history of people like this having easy lives. Keep going anyhow.

Day 5 of keto. Ate a single Nerds Gummy Cluster and it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.

@Radhakr08781352 That’s how I felt when I realized this, too. And what that feeling is is very interesting. It’s not just clarity and the knowledge you are well led (thoughts). It’s chemicals (neurotransmitters) that change everything about how you feel and think. That’s the actual sensation.

Leadership is not felt within the leader, it is felt within the led. Probably the most fundamental mistake most leaders make starts right here.

@djsmith42 And these traits will shine in a lot of their experience if they’ve been working for a little while. Of course there’s no perfect way to know, but there are great ways to dig and get signal.

@djsmith42 It’s a little easier in some fields than others (PM, eng, analytics). You can find your own style but there are some core open ended questions you can open with if you’re interested in how to ask them and how to interpret answers.

The older you get the more it dawns on you that people generally don’t know what they are doing. Then more slowly it dawns on you that this applies to people at the very very top as well. Especially in groups

If you’re telling your mind to be observant, this stuff will be impossible to miss. Then, it’s time to deal with your capacity to accept it instead of leaping to their defense. Accepting it doesn’t mean you dislike the person. It means you understand them.

Vulnerability: are they a self-refinement vacuum, owning their shit and improving, or are they defensive or say dumb things like “I did the best I could with the information I had at the time”?

If you find it difficult to read other people or understand their intentions, it is always because you are too focused on yourself. Tell your mind to become more observant, and it will. Then, for the good natured people, the hardest step is believing what you see.

If you dig deep, you’ll learn that human beings are deeply encoded to be context aware. And yes, there are exceptions. But as a rule, humans adapt to context.

Not saying this to be a tool. Quite the opposite. You won’t believe the unlock understanding this affords you. The knowledge of how to sculpt behavior is about as game changing as it gets.
