The price of admission
Some tough love here about what it means to have “executive presence”.
When someone tells you that you need more business sense, or that you’re not ready for more scope, or that you need to level up, this is typically what they’re trying to communicate. That you’re more concerned with how work happens than with what work should happen in the first place.

How I give the right amount of context (in any situation)
A great list of things to keep in mind when communicating via writing. The article is focused on “managing up” but these principles are relevant in a much broader context as well.
What questions does your manager usually ask? Answer those questions yourself. If you take anything away from this article, make it this. Every manager has their own idiosyncrasies, worldview, values, etc. That’s why the best thing to do is to pattern match. Consider what they’ve asked you in the past, when talking to you or others. Try to give context through that lens.
