ANECDOTE

Cringy 'Manual About Me'

  • Jamie shared her experience receiving a lengthy, cringy "Manual About Me" from her new startup leader.
  • The manual was overly detailed, personal, and contradicted the leader's actual behavior, showing it as an aspirational document.
ADVICE

Don’t 'Take It Offline'

  • Use clearer, more constructive language to handle off-topic discussions appropriately.
