Granger Session 3

Session 3 Less Clutter Less Noise. Communications

We tend to push our agenda on others, and create clutter when we overestimate what we have to say and underestimate the effect it will have on others.

1. Check your ego – Do I care more about what I have to say than I do about the person I am saying it to.

   7. Instead of Job descriptions “at the end of the day, If I did this then I have don my job”
   8. Sharpen focus to the essential
