Engineering Leadership

The management side of the craft. Building teams that build systems.

People

• Clear is kind. Say the hard thing early and directly.
• Blame the process, not the person.
• Give credit generously, take responsibility fully.

Process

• Mentoring is part of the job, not a favor.
• One-on-ones are for the person, not the manager.
• Hire for values, coach for skills.

Delivery

• Ruthlessly prioritize. A team that does everything does nothing.
• Make work visible. Ambiguity is the enemy of delivery.
• Celebrate shipped, not busy.
