I think that he wants to establish himself, like I said, in the company.

I think that's a big one.

I think he wants to be successful.

I think he believes in the mission of what he was doing.

And I think he also wants to make sure that he's not.

While I think he wants to be successful, I also do know for a fact that he wants to successfully integrate into this new, bigger culture.

And I think there's a little bit of struggle there, too, for him because he used to be the boss boss.

And now he's just one of the one of the people.

And that's a completely new dynamic that he's also struggling with at this moment, because even if you're good at that kind of thing or done in the past, it's still not easy.

How do I validate those ideas without making him feel like I'm putting thoughts in his head or assumptions about what his priorities are?

Yeah, I think I know, um,

Because I feel like if you do this... I don't want to say wrong, but I guess that's... There is a way to do it wrong.

There is a way to do it wrong.

Because you can...

Like I've seen people try to do this and have it backfire.

Right.

The other side gets defensive.

All of a sudden they're like, well, that's not what I was thinking.

Or why are you putting words in my mouth?

Or, you know, why are you making assumptions about how I feel?
