Episode Quotes
“It's not that task-oriented people don't care about people. They do. They just tend to put the task first.”
“In the workplace it tends to be priority much more than pace that generates conflict.”
“I suggest to anyone who's having conflict in the workplace with another person to get it on the table. Have a meeting – ideally face-to-face – with that person and just share how you're feeling.”
“It's always easy until people get involved. When people have different priorities, it’s extra challenging. And when you have different priorities and different paces, it’s very, very challenging.”
“Fast isn't better than slow, and task isn't better than people. They're just different. So, let's celebrate those differences and adapt to those differences so we can be more effective.”
