Mar innealtóir sinsearach, tagann a lán de do thionchar trí thionchar a bhaint amach agus athrú a spreagadh — comhaontú a dhéanamh, cás a dhéanamh do smaointe, agus daoine a thabhairt leat. Éilíonn sé seo níos mó ná a bheith ceart go teicniúil; éilíonn sé dhraíochta, cumarsáide, agus tuiscint ar dhaoine.
Tionchar lasmuigh d'údarás
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).
