Love this. It is a quick read. There are 10 tips here. Some of them sound trite, but are they, really?
My favorite: “Do the Altitude Dance.” In other words, make sure when you approach a problem or are in the midst of working on it, make sure to zoom in and out. Do the work at the ground level.
Then, keep part of your brain thinking about zooming out and seeing the big picture. Are you working on the right thing? Should you be asking for advice? Should you be checking on some other part of the project? What are you not thinking about that you should be?
The altitude dance. The more nimble we are at this dance, the better.
