FromSoftware is a game developer founded in 1986. The company is known for creating extremely challenging games such as Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Bloodborne.
Working in technology management is equally challenging. We deal with complex and completely unpredictable scenarios all the time. A significant part of the job is staying calm amidst the chaos, and this is where FromSoftware comes in.
Let's take the game Dark Souls as an example. In it, we don't have a clear story or mission; there is only a final objective, and it is up to you to decide the path you will take.
You might walk into areas far beyond your current capabilities; the game doesn't protect you from that. Similarly, in technology management, you need to master the art of perseverance. Running around, pressing all the buttons at once like a madman, won't help you progress. You need to stay calm. The faster you can read the nuances of the enemies and the environment, the less frustration you will experience throughout the journey.
Whether playing a Souls-like game or managing technology, you need to invest significant time in strategy and planning. Each adversity requires a lot of resilience.
These valuable lessons taught by FromSoftware games can be directly applied to technology management. The need for strategy, careful planning, reading complex scenarios, and above all, perseverance.
These are fundamental principles that help me become a better technology manager. Thank you, FromSoftware.
