>about the non-linear nature of programming work
You hit the nail right on the head.
This is the main thing that non-programmers (i.e. Management) need to understand about "Programmers" and the key to "Manage" them effectively.
- mihaigalos 5y agoSteve Jobs had an opinion on this with which I agree: > The greatest people are self-managing -- they don't need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they'll go figure out how to do it. What they need is a common vision. And that's what leadership is: having a vision; being able to articulate that so the people around you can understand it; and getting a consensus on a common vision.
- rramadass 5y agoGood quote. Related quote from Scott McNealy : "Agree and commit, Disagree and commit, or get out of the way." Too many times Management/Leadership devolves into giving orders without having a clue. It then becomes nothing more than a power trip to the detriment of everything and everybody. All "Good" people just need Autonomy, Vision, Freedom and stellar Results will auto-magically follow.
