Advocating For Emphasis
Updated:
Nobody cares about quality by Will Larson
In a larger org, where decisions are often made several levels above us and communicated with varying amounts of why, it's easy to start feeling like you're being told about rather than included in decisions. This can lead to feelings of absoluteisms, as Will puts it, "Nobody cares about IMPORTANT_PRIORITY."
As a leader, if you're feeling this way? Your people almost certainly are as well.
The post provides both a warning against these types of absolute-based feelings, as well a framework for "advocating for emphasis".
