💬 Have you ever misread someone who needed time out as someone who was checking out? There’s a big difference between people who need space and people who are leaving for good. One is a revolving door—they’ll be back. The other is a fire exit—they’re not returning. 👉 Before you react, ask: “Is this a time out or a check out?” Don’t burn bridges with people who just needed breathing room. #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #Relationships #WorkCulture #PaulScanlon #PeopleSkills #SelfAwareness
