God, what a day. Full of personality management. Nothing more challenging as a leader, imo.
@hacks4pancakes nothing more mentally exhausting either.
@hacks4pancakes We can hear you talking on this thing! lol
@hacks4pancakes layer 8 problems are always hardest problems

@hacks4pancakes

Thats only because you insist on being ethical in dealing with people rather than exploiting their weaknesses to obtain what you want.

People tell me thats a good thing, I disagree.

@hacks4pancakes ❤️ sorry Lesley... people are simultaneously the key and the struggle.

@hacks4pancakes

I know those feels. My week feels like a flat tire spinning in the mud.

You made it though and as long as ya keep doing that, everything will be okie fine.

@hacks4pancakes Ditto, except the personality that really needed the most management today was my own. Just one of those days.
@hacks4pancakes exactly why I got out of management and went back to an engineer role. It wasn’t a fit for me. Thankfully I recognized that and had leadership supportive of my switch.
@hacks4pancakes I hadn’t heard the term “personality management” and dear god that captures the bulk of my job so clearly.
@hacks4pancakes even harder when you genuinely care. I know that you fall into that category. Hopefully the weekend can give you a good reset.
