Leverage Work: Control Time, Maximize Value
A software engineer's ability to create significant value hinges on the effectiveness of their chosen methods over sheer effort. Ten engineers can waste their time with ineffective strategies, while one can generate vast value through insight and skill. Prioritizing control over one's time allows for leveraging specific knowledge, leading to both accountability and value recognition. This ultimately encourages firms to compensate individuals based on unique contributions, freeing them from unproductive routines like unnecessary meetings and allowing them to focus on meaningful work. As a result, productivity enhances when one works during optimal conditions, reclaiming valuable time along the way.
