Working With Me
Bring me a problem, and bring a point of view.
The strongest conversations start with enough context to understand the problem and enough conviction to challenge the obvious answer.
Bring the problem
Start with the outcome, the customer, and what is getting in the way.
Bring evidence
Show the data, customer signals, constraints, and observations behind the problem.
Bring constraints
Time, people, architecture, economics, policy, and organizational realities matter.
Bring a point of view
A draft answer creates something useful to challenge, refine, or replace.
Expect questions and disagreement
Questions expose assumptions. Disagreement helps test whether the reasoning holds.
Leave with a clearer decision
The goal is progress in understanding and action, not a longer meeting.
A few defaults.
Think in systems.Build for reuse.Make decisions explicit.Separate facts from assumptions.Bring a point of view.Challenge the thinking.Measure the outcome.Think about what happens next.
