Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Men’s relationships seemed to be less deeply affected by whether or not there were opportunities to interact amicably – not surprisingly, perhaps, given our evidence that conversation has almost no impact at all on the persistence of males’ relationships.
Feedback as Collaboration Providing valuable feedback and insight can prove to be as difficult as writing the narrative itself. Two of the most cherished gifts I (Colin) received in my career are pens, given to me by people whose narratives I had read and commented on. (I would typically give a printout of the narrative with my handwritten notes on it to the presenters after the meeting.) Both people told me that my comments had played a key role in making their businesses successful. I say this not to boast but to provide evidence that when the reader takes the narrative process just as seriously as the writer does, the comments can have real, significant, and long-lasting impact. You are not just commenting on a document, you’re helping to shape an idea, and thereby becoming a key team member for that business.
