In technical leadership, it’s tempting to wait until everything is flawless before moving forward. But I’ve learned that progress is better than perfection. Small, consistent steps create momentum—and momentum builds success.

Here’s how I’ve embraced this mindset:
• Start with what you have: Waiting for ideal conditions often means missed opportunities. Focus on what’s achievable now.
• Iterate often: Treat everything as a draft. Learn, adjust, and improve as you go.
• Celebrate progress: Acknowledge even the smallest wins—they’re stepping stones to bigger achievements.
