How to work with me
I'm Stanley. I lead with the ask, then the detail — I'd rather be clear than careful. I give feedback as questions and take it best the same way. I explain with analogies and the odd metaphor, keep my messages tight, and for anything nuanced I'd rather talk it through live than trade long threads. Tell me the goal and the deadline, and I'll run with it.
