Tags: #learning-how-to-work Understand what your manager, teammates, other teams, your manager's manager, actually do, and what they're thinking, and what they expect of you. It will make you much more effective in communicating with others and managing stakeholder expectations. Ex. I'm a product person. I like to dig deep and understand the product very well, and at this time I spend most of my days deep in the weeds solving product or design problems. When the CEO asks you how long until a feature will be ready, they probably don't care about the specific work that needs to be done. They care about the overall amount of effort and how much time until the feature can get into a customer's hands. So you tell them that. Created: May 29, 2021 Last Modified: May 29, 2021
