For me, it’s number 4. Learning to have the difficult conversation early.
I’ve seen so many workplace problems become much bigger than they ever needed to be because someone avoided a conversation when it was still small.
Being able to say the difficult thing early, kindly and clearly has probably been one of the most valuable skills throughout my career in People and leadership. It’s also something I now find myself writing about again and again.
