One thing I’ve noticed is that the growth from ”doing” to “thinking” work starts getting easier once people have moved past CUA (complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity) block and are now comfortable in a particular domain.
Usually for people in product development it happens earlier since your job is to enable others move past this block.
And it also shifts the way people are managed, while at the lower stages of “doing” work their tasks are very prescriptive and specific and as they go higher it becomes less and less.
Yes. I agree with this. Something get's unlocked when you begin to understand your domain of expertise better. This happens with both experience and tenure within your company or industry.
