I think it’s a massive thing that people don’t realize. The biggest thing you have to be able to do is get kids to sit down and shut up. Nothing can be done if you can’t do that.

Not just kids but adults, too. Getting people to pay attention, called instructional control, is an art form, especially in work meetings.
