Developer First – A New Leadership Mindset
summary
Claim: shift leadership so leaders work for their team not the reverse, with measurable tactics and surprising scale. Cites a 2017 Gallup stat that ~50% leave because of managers, only ~40% get formal training, and 2020 estimates of 70,000 CS grads versus ~700,000 open developer roles. Tactical tools include one-on-ones with “how can I help you” prompts, a Best Team survey, quarterly CIO floor walks, daily morning RCA call, and time management via the Eisenhower matrix to remove blockers and improve retention.
