Hi Al!
Here are this week's chosen learning points:
Three Work Styles: Marathoners prefer working steadily towards project deadlines, while Sprinters prefer the pressure of impending deadlines. Marathoners get annoyed at Sprinters, but Sprinters do a good job thanks to their rush of energy and creativity. In contrast, Procrastinators struggle to work even as a deadline approaches. (Source)
3-Gulp Rule: In a heated or ineffective discussion, try Bob Parson's 3-gulp rule: First, acknowledge them with an "mhm" or a nod. Then take 3 gulps of water and use that time to think. This act makes your response seem (and rightfully so) thoughtful rather than an off-the-cuff remark. (Source)
