It’s tricky to balance Doing Stuff and Broadcasting Stuff.
You need both. If you spend 100% of your time heads down, even delivering huge value, nobody will notice and your career will suffer. If you spend 100% of your time bloviating, you’ll never build anything of value.
As so often in life, I find the best solution is to team up. Partnerships between an 80 build / 20 tell and a 20 Build / 80 Tell change the world. Woz + Jobs is just the best known example.
