> Provide Options, Don’t Make Lame Excuses
This has helped my career more than any other single piece of advice. The critical mindset of the engineer can quickly lead to cynicism (especially when faced with bureaucracy). Don't get me wrong; cynics make great advisors. But the money is in solving problems, not (merely) pointing them out.
