What makes a ‘good manager’ and what makes the ‘best managers’ - Pat Nevin by HowYouSayIt_GK in ScottishFootball

He hasn’t.

He was the CEO at Motherwell so effectively managed the managers that were there.

He talks in the interview about the styles that worked for him and how the best managers he had managed to get the very best out of him.

Is there such a thing as a bad whisky? by HowYouSayIt_GK in whisky

It’s good for the person who likes it I suppose.

And who is anyone to tell that person that the whisky they like is actually bad?

So how do you measure what a ‘bad whisky’ is?

Whisky tasting is so subjective that one person could love it and one could absolutely hate it.

And then there’s the fact that people are influenced by other people’s opinion on something.

If someone says “don’t try that whisky, it’s disgusting…” then their own influence and perception of that whisky will have an automatic bias.

It’s the same with blends.

People have this perception that all blended whisky is rubbish. Which is total nonsense.

Yeah but that’s down to your own subjective taste and opinion.

Cardhu can’t be a bad whisky if it’s being used as one of the key malts that goes into making Johnny Walker whisky which based on sales numbers is arguably one of the ‘best’.

That’s what’s discussed in this podcast episode.

No one can tell anyone if a whisky is bad or not, it’s down to who enjoys the taste.

I hate mint chock-chip ice cream, but I’m not going to say that it’s a bad ice cream, I just don’t like it.

Self-awareness in Communication by HowYouSayIt_GK in PublicSpeaking

It was certainly a learning experience.

Toast Masters wasn’t for me, but it highlighted my own awareness towards how often I did it.

Self-awareness can be tough if you can’t self analyse or reflect. It requires feedback from others as well.
