Over the years, the role of individual contributors has evolved significantly. They are no longer just dealing with rapid technological changes; they must also adapt their approach to align with business objectives.

Many individual contributors may not immediately relate to thinking like a boss. However, embracing this mindset can empower you to align your work with business objectives, increasing your impact and influence. This perspective shift not only allows staff+ engineers to have a greater impact on their teams, internal stakeholders, and client relationships but also puts them in the driver’s seat of their professional journey. 

Applying a business mindset to engineering challenges can take time to learn, but will ultimately help you stand out as a diverse leader within your team.
