It is OK to ask for help or clarification, however it "takes two to tango"... when someone comes up with the idea or initiative, the best would be to provide with clarity - assumptions, hypothesis, initial analysis, solutions, measurable results, RACI, etc.

Building relationships and networks are fundamental skills in any business. As the business itself is a relationship. If someone leverages on trusted connections wisely, they can significantly reduce the level of uncertainly and ambiguity by getting guidance and knowledge about best practices, checking hypothesis, and better understanding the route source of the uncertainly, hence the way forward. As they say " if you want to go fast - go along, if you want to go far - go together."

Adapting to change and handling ambiguity are indeed crucial skills in today's ever-evolving career landscape. Believing that some things are better left unknown until they're ready for the public is a thoughtful approach. Moreover, building a strong network and having a personal strategy for stress management are wise moves. These strategies not only provide support during uncertain times but also help maintain a healthy work-life balance, keeping you focused and effective amidst change.

It all starts with trusting yourself. Experience, lessons learned, learning by observing, available data or just business intuition - whatever tools help. Someone can only see the opportunity when they are open to them and trust themselves. " The road will be mastered by the one who walks".

In my own career, I've learned that adapting to change and dealing with uncertainty is just part of the job. At first, it felt overwhelming, like I was always trying to catch up. But it also brings opportunities for growth and learning that a stable environment might not offer. Instead of resisting change, I started to lean into it. Yes, there were times I felt like I was in over my head, but those moments taught me resilience. It's true what they say - Adapt or Die. And personally, I choose to adapt because not only I don't want to die, I also want to thrive. Think about it.
