<p>This is a bit of a unique episode - not your usual &quot;how to build a culture of experimentation&quot; type episode. And you shouldn&#39;t skip this episode because &#39;it&#39;s not experimentation so i don&#39;t care&#39; - this episode is SUPER important for anyone in an individual contributor role to hear her wisdom. </p><p><br></p><p>Mallory &quot;Take the Mantle&quot; Randall is a seasoned veteran who&#39;s gone through all of the different stages in her career. And she&#39;s learned super valuable career growth things, moving from individual contributor, to managing a small team, to managing MANY teams as VP. </p><p><br></p><p>So many CROs and experimentation people fixate too much on their program, they don&#39;t realize there are people outside of the organization with different goals, trying to accomplish different things. This is why her POV is so important. </p><p><br></p><p>We got into:</p><p>- When you start your job, understanding your peers is just as important (if not more important) than actually getting your program off the ground</p><p>- Peers need you to push back - understanding HOW to push back, thoughtfully (and respectfully) is key. And picking and choosing your battles will help you grow in your career and get more things done</p><p>- There are limitations to &#39;being right&#39; - just because you&#39;re right, doesn&#39;t mean people will listen to you. </p><p><br></p><p>Go follow Mallory on LinkedIn (we told her she&#39;s going to post more though leadership now, so stay tuned for amazing content coming from her):⁠</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorysiler/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorysiler/</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Also go follow Shiva Manjunath on LinkedIn:</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiva-manjunath/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiva-manjunath/⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to our newsletter for more memes, clips, and awesome content!</p><p>⁠⁠https://fromatob.beehiiv.com/</p>
