IMAGINE THIS: Assistant sends meeting participant A to one restaurant. Assistant simultaneously sends meeting participant B to another restaurant (FYI, this actually happened!!). Mastering calendar invites is a must.
I don't remember doing this but I feel accused by this post and yes, I should learn how to master calendering. Or people can just make me feel seen, heard and valued at any restaurant they wind up at, no?
Navigating office dynamics isn't just about understanding people's personalities. It's about recognizing what they need. At the end of the day, everyone wants to feel seen, heard, valued, and appreciated for what they bring to the table.
Or for their cynical sense of humor at your expense on your worse day after your divorce papers arrive and then you leave and your car has been repo'd and they still got jokes as you wait for the Uber that is twice the price after the 15 minutes it took for you to walk to the corner after listening to their snide, cynical comment but yes, seen, heard and mocked is what you get. Any other advice?
