I think for me, the biggest thing was accountability. As you become more senior and start managing people, if something isn’t right, you need to be prepared to shoulder it. You may not have written the line, or designed the asset, but if it goes through you, you have to be prepared to defend it—and guide it, when the feedback comes.
