Her design was "brilliant". Her mind, "formidable". But Maya just lost the project of a lifetime. The reason? "Frankly, your team hates you".


She was technically right on every point, but her results were "disastrous" because she treated her team like "obstacles". This is the story of a genius who had to learn that her equation (Talent + Hard Work = Success) was wrong.


This immersive narrative brings Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends & Influence People" to life, not as a set of rules, but as the journey of a brilliant mind learning to architect people.


In this episode, you will discover:

  • THE FOUNDATION: Why Maya's criticism of her engineer as "antiquated" and her manager as a "failure of imagination" was a strategic disaster that guaranteed she would lose, even though she was right .


  • THE INVISIBLE BLUEPRINT: The bizarre assignment to learn about Frank, the lobby security guard . How 10 minutes of genuine interest in his dog, "Buster," revealed the secret to influence she had been missing all along .


  • THE GENTLE ART OF ALIGNMENT: How Maya learned to stop arguing with a stubborn engineer (George Henderson) and instead persuaded him by letting him feel the idea was his own .


  • THE GROWTH FEEDBACK FRAMEWORK: The 5-step process she used to correct a junior's catastrophic mistake without crushing his spirit, by talking about her own mistakes first and letting him save face .
