You Show People Your Boundaries | Evy Poumpouras

You show people your boundaries. I show you where I begin and where I end. I show you what I'm willing to take and what I'm not willing to take. I got this piece of advice. Well, somebody shared this with me. John Franchi, I can give him a shout out. Former CIA chief of station, massively smart guy. I was interviewing him and he was a manager of a lot of people. He said, I'll tell you what. He's like, it's easier from the get-go to have good boundaries with people, and then you can kind of diminish them rather than try to be everybody's friend. and then put in those boundaries. Interesting, yeah, it's true. He's like, first you put the boundaries in, and then you build the wall. That's smart.
