4 hours later and no comments. I think this deserves more comments. So I am putting one here to take this initiative. This has good content.
Edit: and one day ..., when I'm hired as a manager for the first time I can adjust to some things I like here.
- enos_feedler 7y agoAgree this is good even for ICs. I am going to take some of these themes into my manager 1:1’s now. I especially like “purpose” since I need to find meaning in my work otherwise I can detach or become disengaged. I work for a big company and its easy for the meaning of tasks to get lost.
- jzer0cool 7y agoPerhaps there is a way to find more meaning in the work? A new way to do something, or automate, etc?
- enos_feedler 7y agoHmmm not meaningful enough. I can automate anything, at any company. I mean deeeeeep meaning. Why does this company exist? How do I serve this meaning. It needs to connect with the outside world. Impact people.
- jzer0cool 6y agoI am in the same boat. To find myself how I can impact the world or people in a positive way. Deep meaning. Purpose. Right now I fail to get hired at a company I would be so very passionate about at this level. And I must earn my living so that one day I can sustain running a company.
- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 7y agoA lot of this is common knowledge, and reads like that last decade of management books. It's also very development focussed. Nothing wrong with any of that, but not sure it warrants call to action.
- ashtonkem 7y agoWhen you get hired as a manager, demand training. Most managers take years before they receive any, which is bad. I was blessed in getting formal training right after landing my first management job, which saved me from a lot of dumb mistakes.
