Speaker 2
Yeah, you can't discuss me with me. Yeah. Okay. What did you say? I was like,
Speaker 1
I thought we were having a conversation if I was a good fit for this role. And they're like, well, I'm not allowed to have my own opinions until I discuss it with the team. I don't know if I'm wearing that quite right. But like, they thought it would be a bias or something. And I was like, Okay, did
Speaker 1
job? I did not. But I don't know. Maybe that was a
Speaker 2
good thing. Probably probably in that case. It's interesting. There's a book called Never Split the Difference by Chris Boss. Yeah. Yes. Are you familiar with it? And he's for people that don't know he's a former FBI terrorist and hostage negotiator. So he's been in some fairly intense conversations with with people that don't necessarily want to do what he wants them to do. And he talks about the deference that sometimes people will push off onto others in terms of decision making ability that, Oh, no, I can't, I can't answer that question because I've got to go back and, you know, discuss it with my team, which can again, you know, read the book for yourself and make your own mind up people, but can suggest that they are actually the people that have the power to make that decision and they've already made it. They just don't want to tell you that they've made that decision. It's a way of them saving face and not having to address the issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1
And it's funny you mentioned that because I was actually going to mention that book earlier when we were talking about like negotiating a salary and stuff. Like I said, honestly, I suck at it for myself, but I do try and give really good or I try to give good advice on that. But that advice is coming from that book because I read that book and that's where my advice is coming from. Yeah, really worth having
