Summary
Intuition and hiring is an uncomfortable topic. We should be rational, have reasons for why we choose to work with someone or not. When should we trust our gut feeling? When is it time to step back and say, no. I go with the hard facts?

In the end it’s all about building an honest relationship as a leader with our peers and what kind of person you want to be. Afterall, we spend a huge time with our peers, even if work is not our main focus in life.

We explore the journey of personal growth and learning, the challenges and strengths of introversion and extroversion, and the significance of choosing battles and seeking feedback.

How can we understand ourselfes better and become the inspiring leaders that we wish we had in our life when we were younger?

Takeaways

• Intuition and logic are both valuable in decision-making, and it is important to know when to choose which one.
• We don’t have to be leaders by embracing the bad stereotypes from the past.
• Clear communication and honesty are essential in building strong relationships.
• Taking risks and embracing vulnerability will lead to personal growth and learning.
