I have held a number of positions maintaining, supporting, developing, and marketing enterprise technology. In every position, the fundamentals have been the same.
Listen. Never assume you are better than someone else. That is how capable people make avoidable mistakes. Think critically about the merits of another person’s claim, never the person making it.
Seek alignment. Find someone who is doing similar work, learn from them, then work with them. More gets done with fewer resources. Learning from others also reduces risk of the unknown.
Follow a purpose. No one can be too important or unimportant to follow a purpose. The best leaders are great followers who lead by example.
