Take the long-term view on people
Take another leadership communication lesson from Steve Jobs.
Yes, he could be reactionary, but he also learned to take the long-term view on people.
He trained himself to not react and fix a problem but rather to focus on the person’s development.
He would ask himself:
“What do I need to do to help this person learn?”
He wanted to build a team, to do great work in the decades to come, not just in the moment.
