Right now, it's OK to be quiet. The quieter you become, the more you hear If we are to inch towards unity, the more we pause to listen, the more sure-footed our path forward will be.

The case for just listening. @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social

I was writing this business manifesto promising the secret to success. Throwing around terms like "𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠" and "𝙀𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣." Sounds huge... like saving a rainforest, right? But what I really was describing were two product leaders who just couldn't hear each other. There was this flawless, beautiful technical plan for a project. It had zero bugs, zero technical debt. The roadmap was perfect. But it stalled for three months. Why? "Misaligned incentives" between two organizations, each chasing a conflicting metric. It’s not a technical failure; it's Chad and Brenda not sharing the metric pie. Only replace Chad with Andrey... The brilliant solution? "𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯." But that's just a corporate euphemism for forcing two people to have an awkward, expensive conversation. We've evolved the language just to avoid saying: "𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴." The new 80/20 rule: 20% 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣, 80% 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚. 🤣 The AI can write your code, but it can’t solve your inability to get along.

Flawless technical roadmap stalled for 3 months?

It wasn't code, it was a failure of "Ecosystem Integration"

We need less Deep Work & more Strategic Empathy to force Chad & Brenda to share the metric pie 🥧😂

In the fight against hate, compassion is our shield and strategy. It aligns with justice, strengthens movements, and ensures we don’t replicate the harm we oppose. Reject hatred, but consider how compassion can shape the world we want to see. #StrategicEmpathy #HopeInAction

For me, empathy is about asking the right questions. As I explore how systems can work better, empathy ensures I don’t miss what’s truly at stake: dignity, fairness, & growth. It’s not about being soft—it’s about being smart & strategic.

🌟 Remember, empathy in problem-solving isn't just a soft skill; it's a strategic advantage.

It helps build trust and fosters collaboration, which are vital in a fast-paced startup environment. #StrategicEmpathy
