Episode-linked context, not an unsupported claim of authorship.

Low-impact work begets low-impact work until layoffs — break the cycle by proactively claiming high-impact work.

Prioritize by estimating each option's impact in the exact same unit as your team goal, not an abstract score.

Set your team's goal exactly one why-statement or one math operator away from a company goal.

Never say yes or no to stakeholders — present options, trade-offs, and one clear recommendation.

Ask 'if I were CEO, would I fully fund my own team?' to expose whether your work is survivable.

Make a bloated set of goals smaller and more concise each round until one specific, urgent number survives.
