I think his own experiences are valid for him, but he definitely generalizes to everyone: 1) I have never once felt loneliness. I dont get close to people at work and never have. 2) adrenaline - Im definitely not addicted to adrenaline. Im more of a stoic. I hate fires so avoid creating fires at all costs. Im constantly gaming worst case scenarios. Fires happen. I do admit I tend to get lazy when things are good and work harder and am more focused when things are falling apart. I dont get an adrenaline rush, instead it is easy to tune out everything except the solution to the biggest problem. 3)constant information flow - Im good at just ignoring things. I have created a structure where I get info from my direct reports and from key people on the ground. I sit in on project standups so I know what is actually going on. We mainly use slack now and so my emails have dropped to almost nothing. I only monitor a few key channels daily. 4) feelings of inadequacy - Im a stoic. I know Im bad at lots of things and that is ok. I dont beat myself up over things I have done wrong. 5) arrogance - I dont really have this as Im constantly second guessing and gaming out worst case scenarios. I almost always let my reports do what they think is right though I will often challenge them. 6) jealousy - I have jealousy over lots of things. But Im also very happy with what I have. If I was told i was going to die in a month, I wouldnt feel that I would have to rush out and do a lot of things that I missed out on. I would mostly do the things I have already been doing and prepare people in my life to be without me. 7)wanting to quit- I have gone through this many times in my life. sometimes I have essentially stopped working and let my mgmt team run things. I try to change up what Im doing every 5 years or so. It is a good way to quit without quitting. Whatever you dont like to do, find someone to do it for you. 8) pride - I dont need accolades, I dont need fancy stuff. I mainly just want to be able to do things I enjoy doing.
