One of the most consistent observations I’ve had in my time in startups, scale-ups, and public companies is that smart people with context on a tricky situation almost always know exactly what they need to do.
Thanks for an interesting post! I particularly liked the idea that the most uncomfortable decision is usually the right one. That's unintuitive and got me thinking. Definitely will try to use this
What a great article. I have experienced many of situations you gave as examples. The charismatic executive, the senior team avoiding giving harsh feedback because it is not worth the effort, myself leaning away from discomfort.
One follow-up question is how to build enough business context in myself and my eng leadership team? Did you write anything about it already?
