considered while allowing a decision to emerge from the discussion. • BS: Using politics and lobbying to get a majority of sup- port for your position. Pretending to listen or consider people’s opinions. 21. NoBS: Prepare people for surprises (especially nega- tive ones) because you know they don’t like them. • BS: Surprise people with things, ideas, and actions they were not ready for and didn’t have time to consider be- fore your interaction with them. 22. NoBS: Recognize people’s capabilities and merit first, regardless of their organizational position. • BS: Weighing people’s positions based on their orga- nizational “importance” and what you hope to get by agreeing with them. 23. NoBS: Avoid passive-aggressive behavior. • BS: using passive-aggressive behavior to get your way or to ignore decisions. 24. NoBS: Wait to hear all sides and opinions before mak- ing decisions. Show a genuine interest in hearing every- one. • BS: Rushing to the decision without all possible input from people. 25. NoBS: Be proficient in saying “My mistake,” “My fault,” “Thank you,” and “I was wrong” as well as the more ad- vanced and harder version: “You were right.” • BS: Avoiding using those terms because you are obvi- ously (that’s sarcasm…) always right, never wrong, don’t make mistakes, and everything bad is obviously some- one else’s fault. 26. NoBS: Bring up things others haven’t thought about. Challenge their thinking. Bring up positons even if they are opposite to yours just to help others see the other side. • BS: Stating only the status quo and how “things are done around here” without challenging any opinion. 27. NoBS: Be constructively critical. • BS: being judgemental instead of critical. Making things personal instead of topical. Or even being politically correct and avoiding controversy. 28. NoBS: Look for ways to learn from your (and others') mistakes and not repeat them. • BS: Find ways to blame others for mistakes so you don’t have to admit to them, although that also prevents you from learning from them and from not repeating them. I’m sure you can think of more. Listen to the podcast episode to hear quite a few sto- ries behind all those BS/NoBS “rules” by visiting https:// podcasts.apple.com.
