But while she’s better at delegating, she’s still impatient, and when she doesn’t see colleagues carrying their weight, she’ll quickly move.
“I’m quick to fire. You can’t change people, really. You can try and develop people. If they don’t want to learn whatever skill you’re trying to teach them or that the team needs them to have, you can only go so far before that becomes dead weight and the rest of the team becomes resentful.” |
Hmmm.... didn't Renee Brown retire unexpectedly recently?

It’s born out of this experience where I had to prove myself on a daily basis. But if you demonstrate enough results, people can’t ignore that. You get respect.” |

Definitely shading her here
| Quote: |
| December 2015, she found herself sitting next to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, as they were part of the same trustee class at Duke. “We started talking about the WNBA, and I said, ‘It doesn’t seem like it’s progressing. What’s going on?’ |
Innocent comment, right? She knew what she was doing.

And in keeping with his deepseated dedication to the good and growth of the WNBA, Silver said "Well, that's good enough for me. Want a job?"

Really liked the article.
Now I'm hoping she can actually accomplish something besides being a good talker.
