Episode notes
Managers Face Slower, Uncertain Feedback
- Management shifts you from fast feedback problem solving to slow, uncertain people and system changes.
- Success as a manager is delivering results and retaining people while adapting to context and timelines.
Close Loops And Grow Soft Skills
- Close feedback loops where possible but invest heavily in soft skills like communication and long-term thinking.
- Optimize for compromises and predictable delivery rather than personal technical preferences.
Use The Four Ps As A Growth Map

- Audit yourself across these pillars and focus on weak dimensions to become more effective.
