Thank you so much. I have made some critical mistakes in navigating the workplace politics because I don’t regulate my own impulsiveness. I have been more of reactive, rather than becoming a future scout. Great lesson, sir.
Everyone agrees that gossip by itself is not a good thing. Nevertheless, it will happen. I have always tried to follow three simple rules. Never be negative. Never judge. And always look for a positive.
Dear Colin, this was very insightful and very practical. It is exactly the help I needed, to better myself for the greater benefit of the organisation. This video is sincerely appreciated and like one of the comments highlights seriously underrated. Thank you. David Du Preez Johannesburg South Africa.

Thanks for asking! (Sorry I missed your comment...). One answer is: buy time. You can buy time by asking questions of clarification, re-stating the query (and asking if you got it right), or even ask for a few minutes to organize a helpful response. Does that address what you are talking about?

Regulate impulse behavior (aka EQ) is important. One thing I gained from corporate life BS was to develop self-restraint.
Good point! Tough to learn. I have to remind myself -- the first thing that comes to mind to say -- don't!
I learned a lot from this video and especially the quote from ZIg Zigar. Great presentation sir!
