Talk and pause

• Interruption is bad for communication
• talk and pause/watch to give others chance to feedback or absorb
• state the fact/suggestion without going into detailed rationalization (don’t need to justify because the audience already gets it, and worse yet, sometime the details in the justification or rationalization might prompt unnecessary distraction)
• respect
• conversation with press (example from Larry E, 60 minutes host and the $15000/day communication training)

Strategic thinking at the middle management level:

• only promote the people who are ready at the next level
• be at 2 steps ahead

Getting things done vs. Taking on too much work

1. Prioritize
2. Delegate
3. Organize

Tricks for organization

• Using task list management tools (#omnifocus#, outlook flag/tasks)
• Using annotations such as markq as shortcut for search
• Clean up task and flag queue every morning and night
• GTD

Tricks for delegation

• Only take tasks from Boss
• Enable and give autonomy to team
