alt Hacker News>> instead of execs telling us “you should do X”, we figure out what we think will have the most impact to our customers and work on building those features and tools

The same things that go wrong anyway?

Nothing, except maybe an asteroid hitting the building and wiping out the entire team?
What do you mean? The quoted text is the exact strategy I always use.
I don't want or need to be told top down what to do, it's better to think for myself and propose that upward. Execs appreciate it because it makes their jobs easier; users get the features they actually want; I get to work on what I think is important.
What am I missing that makes this a bad strategy?
