Why do partners (not all) talk just to talk? Every internal team meeting is wasted reiterating the same information and goes over the time limit for no reason

They are lonely

Sounds like holiday time across most households.

Because some folks think that “leadership” means everyone loves hearing their voice as much as they love hearing their own - sorely mistaken and often a byproduct of a culture that rewards narcissism.

Some people process and brainstorm by talking. They invite challenge and your thoughts. They verbalize a lot to evaluate options and develop solutions because that’s how we process. Signed: such leadership.

No. The higher the role, the more you need to talk. Reaffirm what someone says. Rephrase something. Toss out something they can cause you pause. I’m so against this and very direct and to the point. Need to work on always contributing, even if it’s not necessary.

I love what I do. However I’m now stuck in a power struggle between the President of the local hospital and the VP if the service line. I’ve been struggling with competing interests.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
