Mastering Control: How Tech Leaders Stay in Command Without Being Perfect

· 01:08

|

Welcome to today’s quick insight: what does it really mean to be “in command”?

Being “in command” isn’t about control or never making mistakes. It’s about honesty, self-awareness, and agility. A leader in command sets clear expectations, watches what truly matters—like key metrics—and reacts quickly when things go off track. It’s not about having a perfect product; it’s about focusing on the most impactful bugs and features.

It also means building a team of diverse, challenging minds, and being open to tough decisions—even if they’re unpopular. When issues pop up—whether with team members or market threats—you face them head-on, proactively seeking solutions.

And yes, feeling overwhelmed or making mistakes? That’s part of the game. The difference is in how you respond—managing stress, learning, and adjusting.

So, being “in command” is about leadership rooted in honesty, focus, and proactive problem-solving. It’s not about control—it's about guiding wisely through the chaos. Thanks for tuning in!
