Can confirm —
@dineshraju
also changed my life. He's incredibly low key, but he's one of the smartest, most effective business operators in Singapore that I know.

in the 5+ years I worked for my ex-boss Dinesh, he constantly, casually-yet-intensely would ask me about my goals & desired outcomes "what do you want to get out of this?" "how will you measure your progress?" "what's the next step?" "what's the limiting factor?"

Our relationship was somewhat: "So I'm doing X and Y, and I think I'm not as good at managing people as I thought I would be" Dinesh: "Oh, go read High Output Management and put everything in that book to practice. And have you read Principles?" "Yeah" "Go reread that."

(1 year later): "So I did all of that, and it worked amazingly well! The problems went away! But now I have different problems ..." Dinesh is a gift.

I try to pay it forward, because (and I think
@visakanv
has this right, though I'm surely paraphrasing): one of the ways you build a scene/ecosystem/whatever you want to call it — is you pay things forward.
