"The Joys of Managing Engineering Teams"
summary
Advice: always document every one-to-one and keep a shared notes document so promotion and performance decisions trace back to concrete conversations. Follow up objectives by email and require acknowledgement so expectations align. Create a team vision, use the MOST framework (Mission Objective Strategies Tactics) and map MOST strategies into Jira epics and stories for visibility across engineering. Use a prioritization matrix to decide daily work and run a team manual / vulnerability session to build psychological safety — these practices improve clarity, delivery and career decisions.
