  • Working harder can hurt status because status is about the lens you operate from.
INSIGHT

Seeking Approval Signals Low Status

  • Seeking approval leaks low-status signals like justifying and overexplaining.
  • High-status people operate from a cooperative frame and radiate value instead of begging for it.
