Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A former Google director shares three career principles that helped her achieve five promotions in ten years: Glue, Grit, and Friction. Glue refers to the less glamorous tasks that are vital for team success but might not be directly promotable. Grit is a commitment to pursuing long-term goals despite challenges and viewing failures as opportunities for learning. Friction represents the gap between reality and the ideal state. It must be overcome to show a force multiplier effect.
