I don't think tip toeing around people like this is a solution at all. But I've never worked in the US.
Some important questions:
1) Why are they a leader at all?
2) Why are they your chosen leader?
- parpfish 2y agoJust like there are plenty of employed, bad devs there are employed, bad leaders/managers. Maybe they aren’t good at it, or maybe they’re new to managing and this is one skill where they will get better.
- codr7 2y agoI'm thinking maybe we should be more careful in general with who we give these kinds of responsibilities to.
- parpfish 2y agoPeople can grow into their roles. You don’t expect junior devs to know everything one day one, so why would you expect a “junior[1]” manager? [1] I know the article is about senior managers, but it reads as though the mean “somebody more senior than me” and not “somebody who has been managing a long time”
- codr7 2y agoThe difference is the damage done. I don't think training managers on real people is a good idea.
- loup-vaillant 2y agoGenuine question: how do we train managers, then? Surgeons have pigs, but even then it's not perfect, and there comes a point where they have to perform surgeries on actual humans (hopefully under supervision).
