(i) all of this is downstream of general intelligence. (ii) according to Ollie’s galaxy-brained categorisation, people who are good at management will pick up relationship-building skills very quickly if they need them, whereas people who are good at design will be similarly bad at management and relationship-building for a year or so if they need to pick it up.
I think these categories allow two things to exist within them that have disjoint characteristics (as you say relationship-building and management are different—the crux is whether these skills end up correlated in people, and whether learning many of these disjoint skills helps with the rest.
(i) all of this is downstream of general intelligence.
Slightly agreed—however, I think there are some who have blockers in emotional intelligence/deep relating, but not so much for others. And not just worldview/trauma based blockers, but genuine brain based stuff, like how some people are left handed, ambidexterous, etc. And there are some who are the opposite—who are very naturally talented in this.
in here cos idk if its too braggy/egoy
E.g. I’ve had ~60 people tell me I’m better than any therapist they’ve had, including a caller who I talked with while working at a tescos call center. With skills I picked up in ~6 months. I’ve met 7 other people who could do stuff like that, 2 of whom are relatives.
Could be argued that this is a mix of management and design, but I’d say there’s a subtle, important thing being missed there.
