| From the worst: that a grumpy agressive guy can actually be this way because he care too much. ( cute, I know ) From the best : the value of small talk and forming personal bonds with EVERY person you talk to. The second one took me a while. We were both leader of team that worked together and things were going great. I noticed that his team would kill for that guy. And also that he always seems to know someone that could help. In OPS, in IT, in sales, in the competitor … everywhere. And then I started to notice the small talk, the jokes, the patience … that makes that guys a nice person to work with. And then I also noticed that he was leading both of the team, without that being very obvious.
And I was not even mad about it. Everybody was exceeding target, we all got a nice bonus that year while having fun, why ruin it ? I learned a lot from that smooth operator. ( all of that come on top of impeccable technical acumen. That play a role, too ) |
