Lots of critical nuance is missing, making it sound like it’s written by a “happy-path” eng manager.
If your “mature engineers” are business- and team-focused (read: doing what they are told), disregard innovations in tech and evolution (and evangelism) of best practices, you’re gonna have a boring team that will eventually get disrupted either from outside or inside of your org.
- redpenguin101 6y ago> business- and team-focused (read: doing what they are told) "Doing what they are told" strikes me as the antithesis of being business and team focused - particularly the former. A non-business focused engineer is mindlessly implementing the solutions the business asks for, without taking the time to understand the problem, motivation or mental-model of the business. A non-team focused engineer is narrowly implementing the tasks that end up assigned to them, with no interest in what the rest of the team is doing, and not engaging with the wider team to challenge and contribute to what they are doing.
