A Letter to Mr. & Mrs. No One Does It Like I Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Boss Man/Woman,I’m writing to you today about something I think you’ve been struggling with, and perhaps something you’ve been in denial about. The idea that no one can do what you do as well or as excellently as you do it.There might be a case to be made for your unique abilities. You may genuinely have a particular combination of experience, skill, and instinct that allows you to achieve certain things exceptionally well.But let’s talk about what might actually be at play here: Your EGO.Y
