The article stresses the importance of strategic thinking in achieving goals, especially under constraints like time and resources. It emphasizes that many professionals rush into executing tasks without fully understanding them first. Instead of following instructions linearly, colleagues should assess what deliverables are most crucial and consider the context of their work. The author highlights a mentorship approach focused on fostering critical thinking, storytelling, and user-centric design, encouraging designers to imagine the users of their designs before creating them.
What I advise colleagues is to build a strategy: a method to achieve goals with limited resources. They had 15 minutes to read requirements and 30 minutes to sketch.
We often rush to complete tasks instead of understanding them deeply. The key is in how we read and interpret the task before execution.
Many colleagues immediately start executing tasks as described in Jira, lacking critical thinking about the overall solution and ignoring deeper context.
I teach designers how to think creatively. They must imagine users, envision their stories, and express those through the design process.
