Fulfilling one’s job description is a good thing. Right? Well, not always.

We begin a new podcast series this week entitled, “When Playing by the Rules Backfires.”

Wait a minute. Is that possible? I thought we were supposed to play by the rules.

Yes, but sometimes in doing so we undermine our own effectiveness, sabotage how others perceive us, or forfeit key opportunities.

Join Claudia and I as we meet and discuss:

1. The Literalist
2. The Silent Achiever
3. The Peacekeeper
4. The Enforcer
5. The Rule Keeper

Today, we meet the Literalist. Join the conversation and listen in.
