My 2 cents.
50:00 I hate managers who are abbrassive in their command style. But I just started rewatching star trek the next generation, and I used to think Picard and Riker were awesome. Upon re-evaluation, I discovered they are just as abbrassive as the asses I've hated working for. Long story short - I'm going to start changing my views about ass managers. They're only as bad as you think they are.
Oh, that’s how it works. Alphas and betas. Ok cool. All of the complexities between personalities explained perfectly. And in full caps too for extra credit. Thanks champ.
And I am an alpha, just not the jack ass type. Thats why ass managers don't like me because they try to push my buttons but I'm totally in control stoic.
Alpha and beta is based on the discovery channel. It’s a way for losers with a handful of positive qualities to create a whole superiority complex around them and justify being pompous dbags. I’ve never met a guy who’s openly bragged about being “alpha” who wasn’t a one dimensional tool
@@paradigmwolf4694 the more common terms used now are omega or sigma. They all mean the same at the core, which is being confident and self sufficient. Opposed to dependent on others. You look to yourself for whether you are good enough, not others. The debunked "alpha" term is about that plus domineering over others. That's not a superior way, it's a way that betrays lack of inner strength. A true "alpha" (sigma, omega) is a leader who inspires others to be great.

Thanks for the update, on my 2nd copy of the book. 1st one fell apart with use
AWESOME BOOK Learning now
Love you Tim 4 hour workweek and the help of family got me to make my own company that funds my somewhat frugal life… but cmon we work?
This is top-notch in every aspect. I read a book with similar content, and it was top-notch. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk

Oh, that’s how it works. Alphas and betas. Ok cool. All of the complexities between personalities explained perfectly. And in full caps too for extra credit.

The Alpha concept was derived from that study on wolves that has been debunked. IOW, your whole philosophy of life is based on a lie.
And I am an alpha, just not the jack ass type. Thats why ass managers don't like me because they try to push my buttons but I'm totally in control stoic.
