Theory


Seniors influence department processes.

Reality


Influence means:

  • Setting documentation standards

  • Enforcing component discipline

  • Challenging sloppy workflows

This often makes you less liked — not more.

Hard Truth


If you want to be popular, you’ll tolerate inconsistency.
If you want long-term scale, you’ll enforce standards.

Today’s Action


Identify one weak internal standard. Strengthen it publicly.
