About Frameworks

Welcome to Frameworks - space where I document my thoughts, ideas, and experiences on leadership, management, decision-making, and the art of building strong teams and organizations.

I’ve spent years navigating the intersection of business strategy, leadership, and execution, working with companies to solve complex problems and unlock new opportunities. This website is where I share what I’ve learned—insights from books I read, reflections on leadership challenges, and frameworks that have helped me (and the businesses I’ve worked with) make better decisions.

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I believe that good thinking, shared openly, can lead to better outcomes for everyone. If something here resonates with you, let’s talk.

  • A pleasure to work with

    Chingiz is a pleasure to work with. It is great to work with him as he understands his role precisely, he does not need to be in my industry to understand bottlenecks of a business. Chingiz genuinely brings something different and is willing not only to deliver innovative and high-quality solutions for the company but also challenge my current thinking and creativity.

Rule #5: A Man Is Whatever Room He Is In

In Japanese culture, identity has historically been fluid and contextual. Japanese poets and artists traditionally adopted new names when marking significant life transitions or entering different phases of their creative careers. It is linked to a cultural appreciation for adaptability, acknowledging that individuals embody different roles and characteristics depending on the "rooms" they choose to occupy.

Rule #4: Performance = Ability × Authority × Motivation
Rule #4: Performance = Ability × Authority × Motivation

"Performance equals Ability multiplied by Authority multiplied by Motivation."

The simplicity struck me. This formula captured something profound about performance—that it isn't just skill, not just empowerment, nor purely motivation, but rather the synergy of all three. Miss any single element, and the whole equation collapses.

Earlier today, I endured a grueling earnings call with the board, leaving me frustrated and contemplative. Sensing my mood, my friend shares a story from his past, where he went through a similar experience, due to a decision that he made without requesting a formal approval from his superiors.

Rule #2: Don’t Make a Problem out of a Problem
Rule #2: Don’t Make a Problem out of a Problem

Imagine spilling coffee on your shirt before an important meeting. You’re frustrated, anxious—furious even. You tell yourself it's going to ruin your day, your confidence, your image. Your irritation mounts. You snap at your spouse, get annoyed with the traffic, lose your temper with a colleague. Suddenly, what was originally just a coffee stain is now a chain reaction of negativity.

You've made a problem out of a problem.
