13409009, Feels somewhat how you described Posted by bentagain, Tue Oct-20-20 10:09 AM
Although he wasn't my direct report to...I worked on a team that was lead by a brilliant Dr
Absolutely brilliant
I was familiar with his research...but he was the kind of brillance that could take very complex topics...and ELI5
Not even in a condescending way
We would present the information to him at meetings...and in real-time...he could process, analyze, and make conclusions from the information
As a team, we would collect date, information, meet throughout the week, etc...and sometimes we just couldn't come up with a plan
At our once a month meeting with the lead Dr, he could just nail it, in such a simple way, it was really impressive
Definitely a person that I would want to aspire to be like
But after awhile, it was more aww than anything
Especially the longer I worked there
Other team members were still Drs by the way
But Dr Whyte was always 3 steps ahead of all of us

It was a privilege.
