Just don't be one of those managers that expects everyone else to give a shit about the company and all is good.

- lettergram 4y agoAs a manager, I always measured by consistency. I could care less about how much someone worked, frankly. The engineers would commit and if they met their commitments they were usually good. Sometimes I’d have to nudge them one way or the other, but rarely did I see an issue. I tended to try to inspire others - aka you can design your own projects, deadlines, etc. My job was to guide, provide cover / funds and ensure success is recognized. My teams were definitely intense at times, but always self-committed and everyone became invested. That’s how to help people grow the most and get the most out of them imo. That said, most of our deliverables I always pushed publicly (parents, papers, open source, etc). This ensured good future job prospects.
