Quote: “Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.”

Top 4 Takeaways:

  1. Push yourself further when you think that “good” is “good enough”.
  2. In Michelle’s words, “If you avoid dealing with things for three years it is very bad for your mental health.” Michelle consequently took a month off from work and will make herself available if you’d like to reach out on this topic! Check the show notes for her info.
  3. Read as much as you possibly can to understand the different types of people you might be working with. This will make you a better manager. Try the book “surrounded by idiots”
  4. Consider a professional development worksheet for your direct reports to assess their strengths, weaknesses, and where they want to grow. Use the formula 70/20/10 where 70% is on the job, 20% is through a coach or mentor, and 10% is through formal education.
