One of the most useful self-hacks I’ve found is to think of my skills in terms of upgrade cycles — shipping a “new version” of myself frequently, with iPhone-like consistency. When I became a manager, I had to let go of my 1.0 idea of myself as someone who went deep on every detail. The 2.0 me needed to support the growth of people on my team and make space for them to be experts, no matter how hard it was to step back.
I really enjoyed reading your article, thank you for sharing ! Sometimes I feel you don’t know the features / challenges of the upgrade until you upgrade. How do you tackle the unknown in the best possible way ?
thanks for the great note! Would love to hear your take on the process you go through to identify the "features" for the upgrade ? For me part of the challenge has been in defining the "features aka changes" needed next revision.
I love this framework. I am version 50 at this point! To extend the metaphor, the changes can also be incremental, what is version 2.4 vs version 3. Every positive change moves us forward. Thanks for the reminder ❤️
