It means presenting fully formed, edited and re-edited work that you think is ready for client/creative eyes to your bosses. Less work in progress/wet paint. More proactivity in taking things across the finish line, anticipating pushes you might get and addressing them, etc

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
