| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Manager Tools. Today's cast, the highest manager simple downfall. |
| 0:04.8 | All managers have foibles, and if you're high S and the disc model, well, today we're talking about you. |
| 0:10.3 | Here we go. We go. Well Mark, like I said at the intro, all bosses have weaknesses. Then we spent some time talking about it, right? You know, in our first in this series, |
| 0:35.0 | we said there that so many high boss, sea bosses, like myself, make, is being so perfectionist |
