It’s strategy.
By sharing my thinking, approaches, and daily work openly, I create space to take on new challenges while ensuring the organization doesn’t become dependent on me as a bottleneck.
Thanks to this approach, other teams have taken over many tasks that only the UX team was doing:
- Explaining the difference between UI, UX, and user researchers.
- Quarterly design efforts prioritization
- Forming project descriptions based on our design briefs
- Making detailed project plans with dependencies in JIRA
These used to be major parts of my daily work. Now they’re winding down.
This keeps me growing while the organization scales.
Some leaders hoard knowledge to protect their position. I share it to create my next opportunity.
