Episode notes
Be Proactive and Radiate Intent
- Do not wait passively for a briefing; take initiative by giving your own briefing and plan.
- Radiate your intent clearly to invite feedback and potential course corrections early.

- However, early corrective feedback is valuable and rarely harms perceptions in practice.
