3-Bullet Summary

  1. As a leader, you should be able to evaluate your team members and how they will contribute to the team. This data collection is the start of anticipation.
  2. Every person has a story to tell. Learn from those stories because this will greatly help you to predict behaviour.
  3. Work culture is a social contract for how you’re going to engage.
