Diverse teams make stronger products, but they're not easy to manage. Here's how engineering managers can help teams understand one another and collaborate better.
Impostor syndrome is more common than we admit, especially in tech. Here's what I feels, how it shows up, and what an engineering manager can do about it.
Burnout is a major risk in the tech industry, yet it often goes unnoticed until it is too late. I set a zero-burnout goal for my team and built a system to track stress levels, foster open conversations, and create a culture that prioritizes well-being.
Retrospectives should be one of the most valuable meetings in an agile team, but many teams struggle to make them effective. When done right, retros foster open discussions, lead to actionable improvements, and drive continuous growth.
Feedback is a powerful tool for growth, yet many teams struggle with it. A strong feedback culture fosters trust, improves collaboration, and helps engineers and leaders refine their skills while preventing small issues from escalating.
Career growth in software engineering is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Engineers should have flexibility in defining their paths, whether in technical expertise, leadership, or mentorship, rather than being forced into rigid career ladders.
Empathy is a key driver of collaboration and innovation in engineering teams. Learn how fostering emotional intelligence and understanding improves team dynamics, product quality, and cross-functional collaboration.
