Do you have a real challenge being a 'Grey Professional' or actually becoming a 'Social Chameleon'? We are delighted to welcome Jared van Driessche, Director of Security and EP Professional to the podcast to help us ask: Are we encouraged to be a 'grey person' because it is very difficult to teach new operators social and emotional intelligence?Are we too focused on preventing operational intelligence leaking in place of remaining 'grey' around the Principal?Is there a way to promote your service without promoting yourself today?Should we expect to be fired from some EP jobs whilst learning to become an effective social chameleon?Is being a grey professional ultimately a cornerstone of the 'service mindset'?
