What makes Scott different
He is a greenhorn green thumb, working on expanding his perennial flower garden. An asthmatic since birth, he has overcome a belief that he could not run to become an accomplished marathoner who has completed multiple marathons in under three hours.
Where Scott makes an impact
He makes an impact by mapping outcomes to outputs, helping team members understand the “why” behind the “how” He also makes a point to create a safe space for everyone to contribute, not just the extroverts. He says “To be clear,” “Say more about that,” and “Yes, and…” a lot.
