Imagine how much better your important meetings would go if you follow her advice…
“We’d strategize together, but usually with Steve if I had something that I felt was important for Pixar to move forward with, I put all of my arguments…on a piece of paper and pre-anticipate what he would say, with the holes he would pick and put down some mitigating responses. [I would] usually email him right before dinner. He’d take six o’clock to eight o’clock every night to have dinner with his family. And then at eight o’clock, he’d call me. And we’d go through the list. And usually if I presented it properly, it was a very smooth and easy call. And we’d get done really quickly. If I tried to have a conversation explaining that, it was difficult, Steve’s so fast in the way he responds and the things he thinks of, it can be challenging to get back as quickly as he is getting back to you. So there was a way of working with Steve that I personally loved.” https://lnkd.in/gEPyjZGc
