"Do the task the way you want it." That's a far more mechanistic view of "interesting work" and "features I would like to do myself" than the parent seemed to express.
- watwut 9y agoI am going to quote him: > giving to other engineers features that I would like to do myself" [...] I want to give my team members the interesting work and not hog all the cool stuff myself ... It even implies that they are fully capable and that he trusts them to do those tasks. It also implies that he indeed would like do that task, because he finds doing that task "cool". Both are marks of good leader and so is being self-aware. None of them implies him team members need to be taught or that teaching instead of doing task them would satisfy his wish to do the cool thing.
