How to adapt this page to your own career

Develop separate arguments that a professional reader can question. An essay on scale should examine a different problem from a piece on transferring knowledge or ending a candidate. Include a credible objection to your own position and state the conditions under which your conclusion might change. Subheads should organise the reasoning, not decorate a repeated case summary. Public writing can be specific without disclosing proprietary methods: explain the decision, evidence and limitations at a level you are authorised to publish.
