The second rule is the way you handle strong emotions, I mean, you have to be
prepared to hear empathically, sometimes feel resent by your direct reports
and maybe without knowing it youre going to make your team get passiveaggressive. But listen, thats not your problem to fix! The way the business
performance doesnt depend on how they feel, but on the way you need the
organization to be lead!
The Third rule talks about developing friendship skills, what It means is that
you have to manage a dual role: the friend and the business leader. These skills
are based on unwavering integrity, empathic listening, clear speaking, and
strong boundaries.
And the fourth rule is about being prepared to lose a friendship. Bregman tells
the reader that its better to have a lot of friends in order to help you absorb the
shock of losing a friend who cant actually handle your decisions. But this makes
more sense if he would just say: Create an atmosphere of false friendship, in
which youre the only one who knows this is no real friendship, but just a game
we all play in order to keep you guys comfortable in order to work for me and
make money! So thats why you are actually prepared to lose the friendship,
because you know the truth behind business and friendship, and now you know
the trick. The business itself is the trick! I mean: the super-strong commitment
to your business objectives
So all 4 rules summarized to one: Emotional courage!
So, To close this analysis, Im just going to say a famous quote: its all about
business
