Three takeaways from today’s episode include:

  • P.A.R.S.E. Framework, which stands for Prepare, Assess, Remediate, Sustain and Examine
  • When you have a framework that works, you can apply it to any company or any situation. An important note when applying a framework: be prescriptive without being restrictive. Examine the culture of a company first before applying it.
  • Stockdale paradox: Have you acknowledged where your challenges and vulnerabilities are in order to get to the good? If you don’t acknowledge them, you won’t get to where you need to be.
