Managing Project
My working style is
- Prototype as much as possible to plan for tasks
- Guided knowledge with some prep work
- Formulate experiments / options / blockers / alternatives
- I prefer to know the big picture, clarity with some early prep and continuous learning to guide/unblock as needed
Other ways of Managing project
- Task-based / Time based
- I prefer to go with Know-how and know things from an implementation perspective
- Everything is connected knowledge, You cannot be hands-on in every area but knowing / measuring / probing to understand from the end solution point of view matters
Managing Team
- Where they are currently vs What is their goal
- Look for a long term perspective, What aligns to their growth path
- More the team less the time you can dedicate for every one
Managing Self
- Am I learning things I like to do
- Does this align with my long term perspectives
- What I do to refresh my first principles
- Do I keep learning / connecting the dots with the big picture?
Career/title/skill everything is a point in time snapshot. Even the strongest will become weaker at some point in time. Keep ego/arrogance aside, life is too short to feel I Am the smartest, sometimes it is more about how you genuinely support/understand and get things going. A big no for services or pure people management roles. Pick and choose what best works for you.
Keep Going!!!
