Engineering metrics often overlook the "helpers" who mentor juniors and foster collaboration.

Let’s find a better balance together.

“Why would I deceive you?” 😏
Yes, we do WAY more than staffing.
Sometimes you need great people to add to your team. And sometimes you need a team that can own the work.
We can help you figure out what you need.

@bscalable a four-time CTO, talks with us on The Debugged Agenda.
One great insight is that the board wants you to succeed.
Not because they're being nice, but because your success is their success.
🎙️Full episode this Thursday!

The best teams I've been part of were great because they wanted each member to succeed.
Lack of trust breeds finger-pointing and fear. In a climate where innovation and risk-taking are key to succeeding in a fast-paced environment, how do we continue to build trust?

Most executive meetings end up without decisions.
@kathkeating called it a discipline problem, not a communication problem.
Once she said it that way, I couldn't un-see it.

Most CTOs ask: How do I find the right people?
This is a better question: how do I design a team that performs at a higher level because of them?
I wrote about it on the @CH2Solutions blog.

Have you watched our latest episode of #TheDebuggedAgenda?
@kathkeating covers the decisions leaders avoid until they can't anymore. And as an executive coach, she knows a thing or two about that.

The World Cup ended. Your open engineering seats didn't fill themselves. What do elite clubs do when there's a gap in the formation? The fast signing is fast because the scouting already happened.

The real question in every fast engagement isn't “Can your team build this?”
It's “Do they understand what we're actually trying to do?” That gap is expensive.
CH2 is built by operators who've been on both sides of it.

“No one in the C-suite knows when they're making a decision. Everyone walks out with a different impression of what was agreed to.”

Congratulations to the champions. 🇪🇸 🏆
The strongest teams perform long after the lights go out.
Not just in football, but on every team where someone has to deliver under pressure.
That's the standard CH2 holds.

Most people see the M&A announcement.
Very few see what it took to get there.
I'll be sharing five lessons from navigating acquisitions on both sides of the table.
Not the headline, but the work behind it.

Due diligence surfaces things nobody planned for. We once found a legacy platform with 4,000 paying customers, no source code, and no one could touch it.
"It's still running". Was the only answer I could find. What's the strangest thing you've found in due diligence?

Kathy Keating spoke with us based on her experience as a tech advisor.
And one of the best things about her is that she doesn't sugarcoat what she sees.

Sorry Germany.
They said they were too small. Too inexperienced. Not ready for this stage.
Sound familiar?
The best engineers we have ever placed were overlooked by someone else first.
CH2 does not overlook talent.

Halfway through the year, and everyone I talk to is going through something they didn’t plan for. The companies that are handling it well are constantly evolving, doing it with the right people around them.
What things are you changing for the second half?
I’m all ears!
