What Weak Senior Behavior Looks Like


Taking ownership means isolating yourself.
Doing everything alone to prove competence.

What Real Senior Behavior Looks Like


Pulling people in early:

  • Engineering

  • Product

  • Data

  • Other designers

Collaboration is not weakness. It reduces blind spots.

Why It Matters


Isolation creates rework.
Senior impact comes from alignment, not heroics.
