Prioritize Understanding Over Action
- Slow down and understand the problem you're trying to solve before taking action.
- Deliberate planning leads to faster success than rapid, directionless movement.
Two Types of Leaders
- Leaders tend to be either relational (connectors) or task-oriented (taskers).
- Connectors prioritize relationships, while taskers focus on getting things done.
Connector Struggles
- Connectors struggle with task completion, organization, and prioritizing.
- This can lead to resentment and stress due to neglected personal priorities and unmet expectations from superiors.
