A retired exec told me: "Early in your career you learn, then you earn, and at the end of your career, you pay it forward." You do not need the "official" management title to share advice. If you have deep experience (battle scars included) or develop expertise in something, share your work and POV. It may not resonate with everyone. And that's OK. You do not need to resonate with millions of people. The internet is both a big and small place. Part of building and shipping in public is figuring out who resonates with your domain. The scariest part is hitting "publish". But after you do it. It feels great. And if you make a mistake (which you will). Own it. Improve from it. And move on. Life is full of questions. And the best way to get answers is through taking action. So the next time you feel hesitant to hit "publish"... Do it. (FYI. Private DMs like the screenshot get me jazzed, thank you!)
This is a great take. Everyone has unique value and perspective. Leadership is investing in other's success.
Growth happens after you put yourself out there, not before.
Agree, everyone has something to offer!
Most people aren't held back by a lack of knowledge. They're held back by the fear of being wrong.
Not needing the official title to share what you've learned is the part worth holding onto. The right people finding your work matters more than the numbers ever do, which is what makes hitting publish worth the discomfort, Jason P. Yoong
