Learn to code switch if you intend to become any sort of leader. Different folks need different strokes to get them to where you need them to be, and learning how coworkers process information can put you in a better position to communicate with them.
Also helps bridge the gap between coworkers who may be talking past each other because they process information differently.
This works going up the chain too. Get to know your management and how they process information as well. Tailoring your reports/slidework to their needs will go a long way in getting them on your side.
It doesn’t matter how powerful or pertinent the information is if it’s in a undigestable format. I’ve seen game changing information be scoffed and useless information praised wholly based on how it was displayed. Looking at you, MBAs…
In summation, know your audience. Turns out what they teach you in literary classes is actually useful.
I’ve been begging my wife for a minivan. You can fit whole 8x4 sheets of material in them! Wanna buy a tree? Lay that thing down! Friend moving a small couch? Smash that baby in there! Anyone who thinks a pickup truck is a better work truck than a van just is afraid. Pickup trucks are really only good for bulk materials like mulch/dirt/stone/etc. Most of them can’t fit a sheet of plywood without propping it up. Minivans can hold like 10 sheets flat with the added bonus of keeping them out of the elements.
