No one likes when an important decision doesn’t go their way.

As you become more senior, trying to win individual decisions at all costs can easily become more harmful than helpful. 

Deciding how you lose, with an eye toward the ultimate long-term goal, can produce better outcomes, improve colleague relationships, and transform a short-term loss into a long-term gain.

You will leave this talk with knowledge on:  

  • How to predict sore topics and produce future alignment
  • How to plant seeds of the technical and organizational direction you want, and garden them over time 
  • Being flexible on individual battles in the name of more win-win collaboration
