"I'm a tech lead, nobody listens"...

1. Listen to what other people say and what they think the problem is, or what the problem "says".

2. Think, ask questions to clarify and repeat step 1. Is the problem actually technical? branch a. otherwise branch b.

a. have you considered the problem is mostly not technical? then proceed to branch b.

b. what miscommunications are keeping the solution from being implemented?

3. Change minds with the words that are convincing to others. Dont be so convinced of your solution that you wouldnt take a better one, return to step 1 unless the problem is "solved"

My blog would be uncompellingly short.


2c. is there a context I dont understand?

I think its important to note in most companies I worked in, the issues were mostly political.

But very useful. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
