I really enjoyed this article from Chai. It's interesting I've been using the LMDTFY method without knowing it had this acronym. During my recent years, I moved from asking for permission to leading with intent, and now defaulting to action.
By the way, I loved so much the "Turn the Ship Around!" book, that I immediately had to write about the essence of it: "Emancipate Your Team: Leadership Through Intent, Not Control"
Great guest post! Full of insights. I like the last one a lot - thinking about communications on a higher level is a fantastic skill that I see many leaders have mastered. Engineering serendipity is great, as long as the benefit is mutual, I feel. 😄
Nice article. As an engineer, I've found the Nemawashi method to be effective for introducing procedural technical or procedural changes. So many engineers believe that you can just toss a new thing into the organization, and that people will start using it. The reality is that changes are most effective when individuals see the benefits, and often times people won't even look at something unless another person is personally showing it to them.
It's nice to finally have a name for it. It's funny though: I've always thought of it as tending seedlings rather than uprooting a tree. I wonder what that says about my own psychology or about a difference in cultural perspective?
Nice article authors, enjoyed. Negotiations is a horizontal soft skill and usable by every kind of a manager. Whether a procurement manager or a team lead - tech or non tech.
Amazing post, thank you very much. I knew some of these, but the Nemawashi is completely new to me as a methodology. I like how it makes you care about your peers interest first before you can bring what you have on your mind second. It's powerful.
I actually used Nemawashi without knowing the term, but I love that Japanese name, I think it's a super useful concept. Especially if you actually mean it and don't do it in a 'sleazy' way.
So the dilemma about a job offer being pulled actually happened to me. The CEO didn't think I would be committed enough because I was an advisor to an unrelated startup, so they pulled it.
I reached out to the hiring manager and sadly, they got stonewalled internally. I'd love to know what others would have done in the hiring manager's position.

I absolutely loved that book too! There are some stories there I still remember (read it a few years ago).

I also really liked the last one! It was unexpected, and a great technique :)

Great post! I personally use the nemawashi method quite often, since it’s usually the easiest approach to move big projects forward.
But other methods are not as familiar to me. Will definitely try them out :)
I think I was the LMDTFY the most often, but after the guest article I'll probably be more mindful of the others :)
