And those that are very rigid and hold on to dogmatically \\u2018this is the way it\\u2019s done, it\\u2019s the way it\\u2019s always been done\\u2019, are generally people that are really dangerous to have on a team\\u201d. \\n\\u2022 Much more! \\n\\nHopefully, this episode will help you become a better you!\\n\\nEnjoy your listen!\\n\\n\\nZooming out, if you like listening to this podcast, make sure to subscribe so you don\\u2019t miss new conversations with peak performers, serving as a reminder we can all tap into the best versions of ourselves.\\n\\nYou\\u2019re also welcome to follow Ronen and Noa on Linkedin\\n\\u2022\\tRonen Menipaz on Linkedin\\n\\u2022\\tNoa Eshed on Linkedin \\n\\nAnd if we may ask for a favor - please leave us a review on your native podcast app.\\n\\nSome further resources:\\n\\u2022\\tReal Life Superpowers podcast on Ctech\\n\\u2022\\tThe podcast website'
