Episode notes
Strategic Hiring
- Hire people whose strengths complement your weaknesses (A-work/D-work).
- Delegate your B-work (tasks you're good at but dread) for increased efficiency.
Toxic vs. Fake
- Toxic coworkers are preferable to fake, ambivalent ones because their negativity is predictable.
- Ambivalent relationships drain energy more due to uncertainty and constant evaluation.
Lie Detection Cues
- Look for incongruence between words and body language as a lie detection cue (e.g., shaking head "no" while saying "yes").
- Microexpressions of disgust or fake smiles can also reveal deception.
