He also reached out as he wanted to get a trusted point of view on areas of improvements - at least 3 points. Let me share what I said:
1. Time and investment in people - balance that.
2. Know the right people and gut to trust.
3. Communication style - share when needed esp if people gap is too big.
The discussion inevitable turns into discussion about his past experience, and reason of his resignation. I asked him why he resigned. He shared his observations from reading "Prisoners of Our Thoughts : Viktor Frankl's Principles of Discovering Meaning in Life and Work".
