In a code review meeting last week, a serious design mistake was found at the meeting. So, I asked several questions and wondered why the mistake occurred. However, my colleague told me it was a design made by the Indian team. One of the background information that I need to provide is that this project was developed in collaboration with the Research and Development Center in India. What I can think of as a colleague's answer is this: maybe colleagues are doing things as "second-class citizens".

Turn yourself into a second-class citizen. I found that in my around the general, many colleagues in the design, obviously should do their own leadership, but the initiative to give up their own leadership, so that it to the United States or India's team. The main thing these colleagues have in common is that when discussing technical solutions, there is always a way to offer multiple options and then want to be told which one to use. And I think we can tell people a number of options, but tell them which one I think is best and why I'm going to use it, and then ask "do you have any suggestions?" ”。 Do you see the difference? My method clearly tells the other person a message: I am the dominant, I am making the decision, and you can provide your ideas and suggestions, but it is up to me to refer to these suggestions.

Why does the phenomenon of "second class citizens" appear? I think the deep reason is not to take responsibility! When something went wrong, he could say, "This is a decision made by the American team." The question I want to ask further is, when the problem arises, does it make sense to say "This is a decision made by the American team"? It doesn't make any sense to me! That can only tell others, in the process of doing this, I am a "second-class citizen", or more bluntly, "I am incompetent."

It is important to do the technology is to take responsibility, you only have the courage to take responsibility of your skills are easier to improve, because the responsibility means that I have to deliberate before making decisions. We often hear "art is bold", but I want to ask is: why this person will be "high-art"? A natural? No! I think at first it may be "daring is more high", "daring" more and finally become the "art high is bold." What is "daring"? We have the courage to take responsibility!

At work, never turn yourself into a "second class citizen"!

Don't turn yourself into a "second-class citizen."
