A manager describes a talented but unfocused colleague named Hank who complains in one-on-ones that he isn't heard or valued. The speaker sees it as cover for wanting his way on everything. The advice: pick a lane and stop expecting others to follow your instructions.

Chapters

Apparently Hank spends his one-on-ones with Maria saying that he doesn't feel valued and he doesn't feel like he's ever listened to. No, that's not what he really means. What he really means is you don't do what I say. Clearly he's super talented. Clearly he has interest in things that are not his current job. You got to pick a lane, my guy. He wants everything, clearly. Hank is like zeroing in on and is focusing on that like 1 out of 10 times where that's not the case. Like, no one listens to me. That's the thing. Maria— I love a diva, but Hank, come on. But Hank is like— And these are mega diva. Oh my gosh.
