As a new eng manager with about a year under my belt, #1 really hits the nail on the head. I couldn’t step away from the code because I was so used to IC.
Now as a result, I’m having very difficult discussions about promotions (or lack thereof), because I didn’t give my team the chance to grow.
- ochronus 6y agoThis sounds like it's not too late to turn the ship around. It's also tricky, for some folks it's enough to see space for growth and they do it automagically, for others you need lots of conversations and gentle nudging. Don't be too hard on yourself, just start fruitful career discussions with your team.
