What does it mean when you realize you may have been making a mistake or taken criticism in a negative or defensive way on a project, as discussed in episode 225: Kim Scott | Care Personally, Challenge Directly with Radical Candor, and the clip Mastery vs. Adaptability? How should I handle my relationship with one manager at work who rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations? I'm frustrated because I acted both responsively and annoyingly. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will changing how I've been acting help her loosen her resistance too?
What does it mean when you realize you may have been making a mistake or taken criticism in a negative or defensive way on a project, as discussed in episode 225: Kim Scott | Care Personally, Challenge Directly with Radical Candor? I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, I have a weird relationship or connection with one manager at work. I'm going to change how I've been acting. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. It's just this one person, and I need to change my attitude. She rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations without letting me continue. It's very different from everyone else there. While it's useful in some ways, it's also frustrating. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?
