Some Career Cheat Codes: -Apologize and own it if you make a mistake -Come back with data and stats after you've launched something, even if it fails -Bring ideas for solutions when you bring up problems What did I miss?
Don't ask for permission, beg for forgiveness (though obviously within reason - don't be a jerk!)
Love these. I'd add not to be ashamed to make mistakes. I've found that having a growth mindset and expecting to make mistakes is so much healthier than expecting perfection at all times (recovering perfectionist over here).
if you say you're gonna do something, do it. the way you can, to the best of your abilities, with what you have available, etc, but please please do it
Build others up, don’t tear them down
If you say you are going to do something - do it (preferably on time lol)
It seems your cheat code focuses on product management perspective . Consider including aspects of team collaboration and consistent communication, as teamworking is key.
Audit your professional habits - do you default to reasons why not to do something? are you the contrarian? low default to action? These habits usually evolve from mirroring leaders around you. They aren’t bad habits necessarily. Just check in with yourself.
❤️ Early in my carrer I'd avoid #1 in striving for perfection. Hard but incredibly valuable lesson. My add would be: Don't try to have all the answers. Knowing the right questions to add is way more valuable.
