Control your calendar, stop coding, talk less, listen more, let writing be your superpower, and remember that human connection matters most...
"For first-time managers, make sure you are the one in control of your calendar. You say when you are going to go to meetings and when you are not."
The 5th episode of the 🎥 Engineering Managers Series 🎙 is about
💬 controlling your calendar 📆
💬 writing becoming your superpower 🦹🏻
💬 why you need to stop coding 💻
💬 asking Amazing Questions on 1:1s ⍰
💬 rolling out new process change (RFC)
💬 who is Staff Engineer 👷
💬 creating a team of leaders 🤽♀️
💬 how putting people in uncomfortable situations help empowerment ✨
💬 how async communication saved the Daily 💬
João Alves, an Engineering Manager at Adevinta, a digital marketplace that recently bought a part of eBay, is an engineer by heart. Speaks fluently four languages and explains how especially after the pandemic, the human connection matters and we cannot limit our relationships at work to be purely transactional. We speak about empowering people and creating leaders at all levels.
"We try to empower people (…) by putting them in uncomfortable situations. Presenting in public, making sure they collect requirements from the users and they get firsthand feedback. It's not just the Product Owner talking with users."
