In this interview we're covering:
- Finding unbiased information
- Social implications
- State of remote working
- Asynchronous team management
- Remote work is here to stay
Excerpt from the interview:
"If you try to force employees back to the office, you'll likely end up with a team of B players, as the top talent will have the freedom to choose how they want to work. Right now, it's a seller's market, especially for engineers.
For managers uncomfortable with leading a remote engineering team, I don't have any comforting solutions. The reality is, if you insist on running your engineering team from the office, it's likely to fail. It's a tough truth, but there's no way around it."

    In working at Big 4, you get and do well as director when you manage up. You also got a opportunity because of your ability to schmooze. I was told directly by a donut boy that my abilities are not going to help me get ahead. And as interviewee said, he had to switch the company to get the bump. Of course also being in the right place at the right time. It's not rocket science to have this role.

      ​@@lvlupeng I like the part that talks about universal language for communication being data, also the part stressing the importance of planning and capacity accuracy. Btw, I appreciate you guys putting the discussion summary in a blogpost which is quicker to consume than video. I also like the host's style of rephrasing the answer in her words after the response, it's useful for both the listener and the speaker. Oh, another favorite part is Karolina's hair :)

    Quite disappointed with what I've heard. Among various misrepresentations (like period-based agile somehow is forbidden from releasing during sprint; like somehow roles are set in stone; up to treating devops as a role not a culture); and bland repackaging of existing ideas (value streams, or releasing increments continuously as in continuous delivery) this whole interview screamed "ad for book/services".

    This guy is a bad manager and a very toxic leader. The reason to connect with other peers and managers is so that 1) You can make them successful, and 2) They can make your team more succesful, thus making them more effective and the company more effective. Instead, this persons company and they themselves are just focused on ‘knowing people’ and ‘optics’. Terrible manager, terrible training and he will not be a person we hire in any company

    Uncle Bob is one of my heroes, I've been quoting moments from his Future of Programming lecture for years now. I never thought that an interview with him will ever make me sad, because here he talks about to do the thing right without asking if we do the right thing. In that old lecture he gave some hints about the second question. Definitely worth watching.

    This lady is so wrong about so many things... it is not true that engineers want to be pushed... ever heard of holacracy? ... true managers need to manage and deliver as does the team, but you want team that lives up to certain values - thus, corporate culture / values... and then the team is self driven... manager should be there to encourage a d support the team to reach the goals...

    About what Mike mentioned about communication, there is more into that. As Directors, we have to not just communicate, but effectively articulate our thoughts in a way that we can influence our listeners.

  • @aprilleamoroso7860
    @aprilleamoroso7860 Рік тому

    Hiring and Firing as per what Mike said, is a responsibility of the HR Team. Directors are data people. We analyze data and act based on our analysis. If the action required is to fire or hire, we coordinate and discuss with the process owners, who in this case are HR peeps.
