Notes
- “Don’t. Don’t ask for a yes. Instead, offer a chance to say no, but with a deadline.”
- At the moment reading this line, I was thinking if I was the boss, what would I think. Probably I need to understand the what, then the why.
- In short, instead of saying: “hey, boss, can we install action X? It will help with the XYZ problems we’ve been having”.
- Say: “hey, boss, I am going to install action X, which could solve the XYZ problems we’re been having. Will take care of this on Monday unless I hear differently from you”.
- I think it’s up to the tone. But I think it’s the communication skill to talk with which person and adjust the tone, as well as what they really want to know.
- For example, the boss want to know if it’s a big problem or not, if the big problem cause any unexpected issue or not, etc.
- Saying that let me make progress without waiting for boss review, but also I take responsibility if not frame the problem and solve well.
- Anyway, worth reading.

- This blog is fun and mindful to read, especially the tips. Really easy to understand, as well as informative.
- The tone seems like a senior engineer teaches small tips that I can’t find if just leaning on LLM searches.
- I think need to find more blogs myself rather than just relying on LLM searches in logseq.
