Find someone with unmedicated ADHD or autism. They will talk, forget why they were talking in the first place, and evolve what could have been a conversation into an exercise of one-way self-gratification. Good managers don’t talk to hear the sound of their own voice. Good managers talk because they have something worth hearing. Worth, not to themselves, but to the other person. That requires high empathy and low sympathy. Be direct, even if brutal.
