Seth Godin says, "When you speak to everyone, you speak to no one.". This quote was a catalyst that completely transformed my approach to growing my own business and helping others do the same.

Maybe I have the wrong gender/ethnicity/[insert your demographic variable here] needed to excel.

In Part 1 , I said that product roadmaps are not like car roadmaps. But even car roadmaps showed places of interest—options—for the driver and passengers. If I stretch that analogy a little, managers need to see where we are predictable for the next bit of time, and the options we see for the future. We need to update those options as we learn more.

Project teams need to secure numerous approvals over the lifecycle of an initiative. Funding authorizations often have the highest visibility but getting the go-ahead for other key elements is equally important.

Results-driven leaders have a bad habit of working harder and longer hours. Hard work isn't bad, but isolation is hazardous. If achievement-oriented leaders are not careful, their drive can limit career opportunities, professional success, and the joy of living.
