Being Both Strategist and ExecutionerOne of the hardest parts of this role is that you’re both the visionary and the builder;  the one drawing the map and paving the road.That means switching between high-level strategy and hands-on experimentation daily, and doing it while bringing others along with you. There’s no playbook for this kind of work. You’re paving an unpaved road, one small experiment at a time.‍2.
