Ready enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. That tension between serving your company’s needs and staying anchored in your own leadership philosophy is something I'm sure gets harder and harder as you climb the corporate ladder. Especially now, with AI companies pushing 9-9-6, the expectations of engineers looks very different from just a few years ago.
Thanks for sharing! I have a personal experience of moving to a new company as a manager, sticking to my own management style, and getting fired eventually (partially due to other external factors). So the "adapt or die" idea is very true to me.
I agree that impactful leaders should shape their organization culture to be more open in welcoming changes. Sadly, with profitability as priority in recent days, creating a healthy culture is probably not on their radar now.
I think what we can do it more to survive/adapt first in an organization, and as we get more authority, we make changes and shape the culture in a way that fits our own management philosophy.

Hello Sahana,
Thanks a lot for taking the time for reading the article and sharing your thoughts!
I agree with you that it gets harder, but I guess that's one of the reasons why the bar is and should be high for getting into such roles.
Let's not forget that 9-9-6, the push to replace humans with AI, mass layoffs, etc are never caused by technology.
They are always caused by humans in the position of power deciding to leverage technologies in such directions.
