Managers facilitate a lot of decision-making and routing of people and data and things, and it’s very easy to slip into making all decisions rather than empowering people to make them. But if you let all the power drift over to the engineering managers, pretty soon it doesn’t look so great to be an engineer.

I was curious about moving up the engineering management ladder eventually, but I assumed a VP opportunity would be out of reach for a long time, if ever. I believe this is a super common and normal thing but have had at least one great coach insist that it is not, so I’m putting it on the list.

As engineering managers and leaders, our job of course is to help our teams deliver value to the organization and its customers. Yet from a higher level, our role is to ensure that both engineers and teams continue to grow and develop. So what exactly does career growth mean, and how can managers and leaders invest in it?

I do a lot of coaching with senior leaders and managers to help them keep their cool. See, it’s really easy for you as a manager to observe generally how people are working. You as this ELM, the software engineering manager, you get a notion for what people are doing. We all get triggered.

As a bare minimum, I can think of an engineering organisation of 6 Spotify like squads with each team consisting of 8-10 people including engineers (frontend/backend), BA, PO, and an agile coach. That's an overall engineering organisation of 55+ people including engineering leaders, chapter leads, etc.

At least I find, right, where it’s… the nice thing sometimes about being a manager is that you just kind of come into work and react and that’s like your whole job is reacting and knowing how to react, the appropriate level of reaction. Marcus: Right. Marcus: Perhaps.

See, it’s really easy for you as a manager to observe generally how people are working. And I will use that word where people tend to blame other people, and there’s a lot of micromanagement and not a lot of coaching and feedback going on. You can look at PRs. You can look at who’s assigned what tickets.
