Pain Management in Execution: Distributing Ownership and Empowering Solutions
This topic focuses on handling execution challenges, or “pain points,” by assigning the right person to own them based on their expertise and role. It emphasizes empowering the owner to carry the responsibility through resolution while providing autonomy and support. Once the execution is successful, the owner transitions to relief, ensuring accountability and fostering growth. It’s about balancing ownership, problem-solving, and sustainable execution practices.

​Vadim Patsev, Engineering Manager, Yandex Delivery
