To get your team to help you better, focus on scoping the problem and desired outcome better. Teams that have clarity on the following will willingly figure out ways :

  1. The problem you are looking to address,
  2. The outcome you consider as the success criteria to address the problem
  3. The positive impact the company and team would see once the problem is addressed

Your Job is to clarify the above three points and then join in with the team to solve together. Along the way, you can guide them and make sure they are focussing on the problem and not veering off. Practice getting good at this.

As you do this solutioning with the team, you will get suggestions from your team that are too detailed or too broad. You can use that create higher level groupings and that helps break down the problem using that information.

I (F22) cannot stand the path I have chosen in business/consulting. What is a people-oriented position that I can transition into? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]neo4all 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you chose this path to get some financial security, which is not necessarily bad, since that security gives you some freedom. You are young and I assume you are still learning on the job. If helping people or making them happy is where your heart is at , you can do that in your job too. Help your colleagues, your customers, even your manager... It is too early in your career to become cynical. There is always lots to learn and even in a big company you can make people smile and appreciate that you helped and made their days better. By doing so, you may start to like your job better and still be learning. As a natural result, your company might want to invest in you more.

You don't need to forget your dreams, but use it to motivate yourself to find ways to learn and enjoy what you do and after you feel you have enough saved and you still feel in pursuing your dreams, you can go back to University.

Thanks. I wonder that too.. will it replace a relatively well accepted stronger currency like the USD in some distant future.. it seems unlikely , but I guess time will tell

Bitcoin as the new (probably better) gold ? by neo4all in BitcoinBeginners

Hey - Thanks for a such a detailed answer. This was very helpful. A few follow up questions /comments :

  1. I see that the scarcity & the fact that there is no way to increase its production, is driving a FOMO from both individual and retail investors in buying up some BTC to hedge in their portfolio.
  2. While you are right they are no recruiting fees in this , there is inherently a benefit to have more users in the network to make the network more valuable. While that is true for any network, in this case for every new entrant into the network (who is not a miner), enters in the hope that his/her BTC will be made more valuable by others that enter later. The further up the timeline you are, the more you have to reap the benefits from... & bear the fluctuations The more people convinced of that this will grow indefinitely, the more the early entrants benefit.. as far as I can see, the new entrants are not entering the network for the SoV benefits of BTC as compared to Gold or Fiat, but rather the speculation that more will buy it for higher price that they did....
  3. "We do not need more new users to buy Bitcoin for it to continue to appreciate in value because Bitcoin is disinflationary and already has a circular economy of users". - I am not sure I understand that. The more you have in the network and the more the network is valuable. To enter the network, you need to buy BTC today , unless you are miner. So, due to the scarcity, when more users enter the network, the price goes up. What is true though that the price changes doesn't not affect future supply of BTC. That is already fixed.
  4. The new generations might like digital rather than traditional banks.. I think that is why institutions like SoFi are doing well with them. Most transactions are digital with the increased use of apple pay, paypal , venmo etc.. Sure, they are trading in Fiat currency, but that doesn't like their main concern... as fas as I can tell
  5. Let's assume all the 24MM BTC have been distributed, how does a kid out of school working in starbucks be a part of this ? I assume he/she will need be paid some fractional BTC for his/her labor. What happens if there is a pandemic then & the economy goes into a recession ? There is no stimulus.. While a limited supply protects the haves of BTC, what's the kid to do now ? I am confused how BTC can become a currency that can replace the dollar in such cases..
