Engineering Managers in the Wild
Alberto Guarino
3 episodes
6 days ago
This is a podcast about Engineering Managers (EMs), their stories, and their art. What do EMs really do? What problems do they help solve? What challenges do they face? How do they support their teams on a daily basis? How do they grow? And how does their role change from company to company? I'll try to answer these questions (and many more) through conversations with friends, colleagues, and beautiful people I've met along the way. As we present different perspectives and experiences, I hope you'll be able to appreciate how interesting and challenging the role of an EM can be.

1: Team Cohesion in a Distributed World, with Gustavo Marin

Gustavo is an Engineering Manager at Spotify. In this episode, we talk about team cohesion in a distributed world and why this is an important topic to be aware of.

  • What is team cohesion?
  • How has remote work affected it?
  • What can you do when you notice a lack of connection and low engagement in a team?
  • Is it just a manager's responsibility to take care of team cohesion?
  • How can you bring this up with a team and create a space for them to discuss?
  • How do you deal with time zones, meetings, pair programming, synchronous vs asynchronous work, and more?
  • What tools work? What doesn't work?
  • Are team offsites still a thing?

Gustavo shares his experience and some stories that I really enjoyed listening to. I hope you will enjoy them too! 😊
