258. How Designers Earn Authority on the Jobsite
Description
Do you ever wonder why certain collaborations feel so much easier than others?
Today, we're pulling back the curtain on jobsite dynamics and talking about something design school never prepped you for:
collaboration as a leadership strategy—not just a "soft skill."
Collaboration isn't a bonus. It's not something you stumble into once you feel confident enough.
It's a skill. And more importantly, it's a positioning choice.
So if you're tired of second-guessing your input, or feel like you're always waiting to be "let into" the real conversations, this one's for you. We're getting sharp about what real authority looks like on a site and how to earn trust by leading with clarity.
