Bħala ingenjer seniour, ħafna mill-impatt tiegħek jiġi permezz ta' influwenza fuq deċiżjonijiet u dħul ta' bidla — tibni kunsens, tagħmel każ għal idejek, u tġib lin-nies magħhom. Dan jeħtieġ aktar minn li tkun tajjeb teknikament; jeħtieġ persuazjoni, komunikazzjoni, u fehim ta' nies.
Influwenza mingħajr awtorita
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).
