Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Designers possess three key superpowers: they are great investigators who ask deep questions and research thoroughly to understand how things really work, great explainers who clarify complex ideas through clear communication and visual tools, and great negotiators of ideas who explore multiple solutions to problems. Designers should recognize and leverage these natural abilities to increase their influence and value in organizations. The world needs designers now more than ever, and they should focus on convincing themselves of their worth rather than constantly seeking validation from others.
