willowbl00Folks who have had to learn to navigate ambiguity, who see complexity in most things, can you tell me about your approach and what skills helped you do this? #management
eighteyes@willowbl00 Being complexity attuned, I lived in ambiguity and weaponized it. Here's how to deal with it.
1) Ambiguity thrives in the darkness of 'maybe', force clarity in your conversations. Learn to watch for "indeterminate" language, from yourself and others.
2) Fuzziness is an opportunity to discover a path, because we're all just guessing until it's done and has contact with the external world. Especially in software.
3) Recognize that ambiguity can be deployed strategically to hide information, root that shit out.
Fundamentally, I approach ambiguity from an information and communication lens. Most of the time, nobody knows and we need to find out via work and feedback. Sometimes, someone does know and is using vague language to hide the bodies.
