I have gone through cycles of ideas, initiatives rejected, put down as it flows through leadership levels. Many times it got delayed but there were few memorable successes in #rewrite #warranty to XBOX, filing #retail patents, pushing ideas. I have observed myself going through frustration, rejection cycle. I was able to achieve those ideas in my next role the same/next company. It takes time to prove/demonstrate our ideas have potential. Sometimes we need to wait/ further sharpen our skills/ till the next role / next company to make the idea successful.
Accidental Leaders - (July 16th, 2020)
IT has a lot of accidental leaders. Years of experience may not reflect competency. Some categories of leaders
Idea Killers - Any idea you bring up to the table. The intention is to play a safe game. They view IT projects as sailing in smooth weather. Very less interest in innovation and pure 9-6 safe side players.
Jargon Gurus - Highly qualified, great connection with their ladder up. Any idea you take up they will provide a counter idea for it. Ultimately their goal is to prove the idea is not good enough to pursue
Enthusiast Leaders - They don't know about technical aspects but get carried away with wow factors. Their shortsightedness will not give them long term perspective
Passionate Leaders - Talk on your face, encourage the idea. Warn you when things fail but really back you when it fails. They are hard to work with but they take the organization to the next level.
The IT industry is a very hard industry to spot true leaders. All leaders who speak may not be good at execution. All leaders who deliver may not be good presenters. Keep going. Build the true leader in your inner self - Siva
#Keep Thinking!!!!
- Sometimes your best ideas will have no future, they will get killed. Keep going
- Keep versioning all your ideas and add techniques to improve upon it
- Build domain knowledge + AI to solve it optimally
- When people kill ideas, find a place to grow if you believe in your ideas
- 'Go' where you 'Grow', 'Grow' where you 'Go'
