+Learning not to finish a book I wasn't enjoying is an elite level gain.
+
+> Books are a great way to expand your skills. However, it can be quite difficult for me to find time for them, so I am very selective about which ones I read. Today, I would like to share my approach to reading books on soft skills.

+cited: Wes Kao

+
+> In this week’s newsletter, we’ll cover how to get more and better feedback from your manager:
+
+> 1. Make it insanely easy for your manager to give you feedback.
+> 2. “Feedback” might feel loaded. Ask what to do differently and what worked well.
+> 3. Give them permission to rip your work apart.
+> 4. Don’t romanticize feedback. You might already be getting it.
+> 5. Give your manager something concrete to react to.
+> 6. Don’t expect your manager to create a structured lesson plan for you.
+> 7. React positively when you get feedback.
+> 8. Frame why giving you feedback is ROI positive. It’s not always obvious or true.
+> 9. Specify what part you need help with.
+> 10. Be explicit about the type of feedback you’re looking for.
+> 11. Be the kind of operator managers want to invest in.

+
+> In this week’s newsletter, we’ll cover principles on how to feel more confident sharing your point of view.
+
+> 1. The more controversial the idea, the higher the burden of proof.
+> 2. Update your assumptions about how you add value.
+> 3. Share where your hunch is coming from—because it’s coming from somewhere.
+> 4. Describe why the problem matters, so people understand why you’re speaking up.
+> 5. Don’t rely on your credentials. Your idea should make sense on its own.
+> 6. Use language that accurately reflects your level of certainty

+
+> Rhythm is perhaps a little trickier to handle. There is not one immediately obvious smallest rhythmic division to adopt that will support all kinds of rhythms. A judgement call must be made about what minimum note lengths and what cross-rhythms to support inside a grid.
+> A 24-column-per-beat approach supports beat divisions to evenly lay out eighth notes (12 columns), sixteenth notes (6 columns) 32nd notes (3 columns) as well as triplet values of those notes. It's a good starting point.
