If you're an outlier, high in compassion, creativity, abstract thinking, courage, or standard of quality, you will feel rejected, unloved, and misunderstood.
There is no significant history of people like this having easy lives.
Keep going anyhow.
When dumb, dysfunctional teams look at smart, high-functioning teams, their conclusion is almost always “look at how fast they ship.”
Dumbest possible conclusion.
Footnote:
There is nothing wrong with speed. There's nothing wrong with the math student who finishes the test in half of the time of the average student.
What's right about that person is *they are great at math,* not doing math fast.
Moving fast has produced nothing great, ever.
That's why moving fast is such a beloved concept to those who have no intentions of making anything great.
Contrarian takes from last week's live session on working with difficult people.
Many of these take a long time to learn the hard way.
Last chance to join Sunday!
On Monday, you can be the same you.
Or a you that sees more clearly. Strategizes better. Influences better. Who is more believed and trusted.
You're already great. I get it. But if you want to be even better, see you Sunday maven.com/evan-lapointe/logi…
Focusing on ownership is a huge error.
Here's the problem. Whoever the proper owner is will rarely be the person who sees things most clearly.
Lock your team into seeing clearly, not into a person who might not.
The only difference between the clear thinker and the skeptic is in how they arrive at their assumption.
The clear thinker simulates how an idea will work in reality. The skeptic defaults to an assumption with zero simulation.
This is why skeptics' opinions are worthless.
Want to be better at working with difficult people?
Come on Friday!

Care to join me on Sunday to become a more logical thinker, more influential, and more correct more often?
Here’s what people think about the course…

The majority of people you work with use their memory as their primary prediction tool.
Let the irony of that sink in.
This is why it is so essential to learn the art of influence. Else, your future will only look like their past.
This week on CORE Concepts:
How to work with difficult people.
Learn what great looks like, so things keep getting better instead of getting worse. Friday's session will be a career modifier.

And here's the invite to Friday's interactive session on this topic, where we'll get into the real world side of things...how exactly to handle difficult people and situations as well as possible:

On clearer thinking and AI:
- Clearer thinking will cause a person to use AI *more*
- And when they do, it will cause them to be misled *less*
Recommend watching this.
This explains how the mind of someone who gets it right more often actually works. It’s important to infer from the video how this mind applies to *everything*…not just machines. Cultures. Marketing campaigns. Products.
