To let your employees do their jobs is taking a massive leap of faith for you? Looks like you should learn to trust them a little bit more. If they cannot be trusted due to lack of competence, perhaps you should invest in training and a better process.
- volundr- 9y agoThat's not really what he's saying. As a developer, it is up to you to make things go. As a manager, your job is to support engineers and believe that they will make things go. That is indeed a leap, and a very different mindset.
- tj-teej 9y agoWhen you're an engineer, you can literally prove your solutions will work; (through unit tests, etc). I think the OP is saying that with management you don't have that kind of proof, and trying to get it will hinder your team.
