Can I quote you on that?

"We are friends first...and then we are podcast co-hosts." - Maggie "It's never 'just business.' You have to care about people first, otherwise they're going to become collateral damage." - Jacey "Don't have difficult conversations via text or email." - Maggie "You have to learn to dissociate from your idea. Just because you don't like my idea, doesn't mean you don't think I'm smart or value me as a contributor." - Jacey "The other people on your team are there to be sounding boards and are there to tell you if one of your ideas is a bad idea." - Maggie "Communicate clearly and praise often." - Jacey "There is something in our collective belief system as a culture that says you cannot dispute my feelings." - Jacey
