Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
- I keep staring at the big result hoping it moves, but it’s out of my hands day to day
- My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid
- I can’t actually tell good from great while I’m doing it
- A week or two in it still costs me everything to keep going and feels no easier, and I take that early grind as proof this just isn’t for me, right before it would have started getting lighter.
