summary
Three concrete tactics for adapting management practices to individuals: start one on ones with personal talk and count to 15 or 20 to give slow thinkers space, shift coaching when ambition shifts from promotion to stability instead of assuming constant hunger for growth, and vary recognition methods by share customer impact or offer gift card or peer praise so shy people get meaningful feedback. Examples include loosening agendas, checking motivation after life changes, and citing specific metrics (for example a shipped change improved performance by 10%)
