How To Become Dangerously Self-Managed (Today!)
from The Yasar Ahmad Podcast Hosted by Yasar Ahmad
Most people scroll past their company values as corporate mumbo jumbo on a wall. Used properly, those same values are the sharpest accountability tool you have at work, for holding yourself in check and for steering a room without ever telling someone they're wrong. Recorded from the car, so bear with me. I break down the three values I actually run my work on: relentless prioritisation, customer centricity, and data centricity, plus long-term orientation for anyone building in the age of AI. Each one is a decision filter. Prioritisation keeps you honest about what matters. Customer centricity pulls you back to the real problem when analysis paralysis sets in. Data centricity stops a good-sounding idea moving forward with nothing behind it.If you sit in meetings full of ideas and no direction, or you judge your weaknesses against everyone else's strengths and come away feeling behind, this one is for you. You will get a simple way to disagree that keeps you respected: name what you like about the idea, then anchor the decision to a shared value so the conversation moves without anyone losing face. The real question in any disagreement isn't who's right. It's what would need to be true for you to agree.
