Military Veterans. Part 2.

My second session with military veterans Nyles Thorne and Don Valdez, we talk about transitioning to civilian life, professional challenges, and lessons learned.

A few insights to apply:
– Take yourself out of your first world-centric mindset. Don’t be entitled. Develop patience.
– There’s different type of characters on a team. Learn to work with and develop empathy for different personalities, passive or assertive.
– Wake up early. Get stuff done sooner than others. Set yourself up for success.
– Manage up, manage down. Take full ownership.
– The military talks about micromanagement too. Decentralized command just works better.
