Como ingeniero senior, gran parte de tu impacto proviene de influir en las decisiones e impulsar cambios — construir consenso, argumentar ideas y llevar a la gente contigo. Esto requiere más que estar técnicamente en lo correcto; requiere persuasión, comunicación y entender a las personas.
Por qué es importante
Senior engineers often lack formal authority but need to drive technical decisions:
→ INFLUENCE through expertise, trust, reasoning, and relationships (not commands)
→ being RIGHT isn't enough → you must PERSUADE and bring people along
→ "How do I get the team/org to adopt this / make this decision?"
→ influence is a key senior skill (impact through others, not just your own work).
