As a former agency owner, I liked it when people figured things out on their own. We could deliver faster because I decided only on the critical questions.
I like to implement the same approach now as a full-time employee, as you said:
“If our director doesn’t have to get involved, that’s a success.” – this pretty much captures it.
The art of crossing the finish line elegantly is such an important skill. Thanks for sharing these insights Akash and I wish you the best of luck for your new journey. More power to you !!
Love the tips and practical examples on "Communicate timely" and "Draw a clear finish line." The "Draw a clear finish line" is always a helpful reminder since it's easy to lose track of it.
Excellent advice, Akash!

I'm glad it resonated with you, Akos. The lesser the leaders hear about "it's not working", the better.
Great article. The industry is indeed small :D
Thanks, Hemant. Glad you liked it.

Absolutely, and it's often undervalued.

Thanks, Jordan. Glad you liked it.
I never liked SMART goals but after recognizing the problem with open challenges, I came to appreciate, especially when getting buy-ins.
Now my design docs or roadmaps have “Not objective “ section along with objective, hahah
