So i'll always say, what's the one thing i can do better? And i've kind of drafted them, against their will, into my challenge network eris sometimes they say, well, you know, nothing. And i feelii have to push them a little bit. And so i've, i've started that, i guess i've gotten a little edgier about this over the past few yearsand i'll say, ha, you know, it's funny, i thought you had higher standards than that. You couldn't find a single thing i could improve on. You really think this is perfect? Come on. And then, if if they won't give me anything, i will criticise myself out loud, and i'll say, look, here are the three things that i think i did poorly. Tell me if you agree with any of those.

He said, you know, when i buy a new car, it comes with an owner's manual, so i know how to operate it. But when i work with a new person, whose way more complex than a car, i don't get anything. And so i'm kind of starting from square one, when fact, they have all these experiences that could teach me something from their past about how to work with them better in the present And the future. And so what he did, same as orschol nick, he sat down and he wrote up one pager on how to work with him effectively. What are his strength what are his weaknesses, what are the triggers that bring out the worst in him? What are the the moments that bring out in the best in him? And then he didn't stop therehe asked his team to write their user manual for him, so that he could gauge his own self awareness. And of course, he found the team's os is much more ecihtful and accurate than his own, because of the blind spot factor in part. But now every new person who works with him gets that one pager and gets to immediately start as if they'd known him for a month or two, and say, ok, you know, here are the things i might want To adapt if i want to be really affective with this nager. And so i've gone, i've gone and done that. I asked a bunch of people who worke with me to write my user manual. Andit is very simple. The questions are, what are my strengths? What brings those out? What are my weaknesses? What brings those out? What are my blind spots? And what do you know now about working with me that you wish you had known when we first started working?)
