Manage episode 460310219 series 79138
Daily Boost Podcast - Are You a Rule Bender? - Episode 5,005
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
Scott Smith explores the complex relationship between following rules and bending them, sharing personal experiences from his high school days and radio career. Through engaging storytelling, he reveals how sometimes we unconsciously follow the rules while thinking we're breaking them and the importance of understanding when rule-bending crosses the line.
Key Takeaways
- Rules in jobs, relationships, and organizations serve important purposes, even for self-proclaimed rule-benders
- Understanding your "why" and following core principles can coincide with being a rule-bender
- Sometimes, we follow important rules unconsciously while thinking we're breaking them
- Creating your own rules without considering others can lead to professional consequences
Featured Story
Scott shares a pivotal career moment when his radio mentor called him in for a "Come to Jesus" meeting. While Scott prided himself on being a rule-bender, his mentor showed him how he followed all the essential rules - showing up early, being persistent, never assuming, and taking responsibility. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when Scott learns he is creating too many rules that affect others.
Scott's Three-Step Approach
1. Recognize which rules are fundamental and serve a purpose
2. Understand your personal "why" and align it with organizational goals
3. Consider how your actions and personal rules impact others
Memorable Quotes
- "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." - Annie Dillard
- "You may not like our rules, but you seem to have written them for us."
- "Rules for thee, but not for me."
