Picard management tip: Become a symbol of stability for your crew. This takes time, but then they'll move mountains for you.

One of the biggest disillusionment most people have with startups is realizing that as they grow, those startups start behaving like most large companies do.
Caring about growing market share, and increasing revenue and profits. Employee individual needs become less of a focus.

Picard management tip: Good crew members love what they do. Get off their backs and let them enjoy their work.

"don't bring me problems, bring me solutions" is a great way to not learn about the most difficult problems

Some companies execute better cuz they are just out behaving you.
Not cuz they push more pressure or hire more management or set stupid aggressive deadlines to make ppl “work harder”. They organize and communicate better. Make decisions in 1 day instead of 3 months.

Picard leadership tip: Respect must be earned. Trust must be earned. A demand for either means the loss of both.

I've seen many types of people succeed as engineering managers. But the only types I've seen consistently succeed in multiple companies were those who genuinely cared about people, had an optimistic outlook, and were close enough to technology to stay grounded in their judgment.

The biggest problem in tech is people without merit think they have merit and they are doing a great job by holding on to their power.

If you want my advice: your lack of trust in your employees wastes more money than the code in your legacy systems. People on the ground know A LOT! Just watched a company hand $100K to a consultant who only repeated guidance already available in the company's internal docs.

Not sure why this still needs to be said, but adding more people is not a way to fasten projects with a ton of ambiguity.

Picard career tip: The grass may seem greener on the other side, but sometimes it's because of all the fertilizer.

Many companies are ramping up recruiting at a speed higher than they can ramp up culture.
If you’re simply treating it as a recruiting issue, talent shortage will likely last longer than you want or expect.
