What’s happening?

[Life of a Dev Manager @DevManagerFML]

Imagine what would happen if everyone at work actually wanted to be there... and got together to accomplish the work needed to be done without blame. #woah I’m on to something!

Any blockers today?

Sunday evening.. is it time to start sending emails to the employees?

No. It’s the Fucking weekend. Let people enjoy their time off.

See you Monday!

There are 3 types of work at my job:

1) Product Delivery
2) Tech Debt
3) Planning

The problem is:

Our list should be reversed.

1) Planning
2) Tech Debt
3) Product Delivery

Anyone else stuck in a pattern where you can't plan or make progress on tech debt?

We moved to an open concept to look cool - now people book conference rooms to get work done.

If you're looking for a 2020 New Years' resolution, set a goal of undoing open office workspaces for your team.
Human beings thrive when they have their own personal space & "Hot-Desking" undermines that -- not to mention their #PsychologicalSafety.
Open space = no #heart.

IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE JASON!

Even the not so successful people with their shit flung all out for the world to see have this too.. definitely need to drop imposter syndrome - we all have it.

Such a clear and interesting lecture on Inclusive Leadership from @doctorwibble. Park that Imposter Syndrome! ✋🏾 #anaesthesia #leadership @RCoANews

Communication is key but sometimes the lock is broken.

[Izabella Niewiadomska ❤️ @NutritiousMind]

Poor #communication
Poor Performance
Poor Results
Poor Health...

Better Communication
Better Performance
Better Results
Better Health...❤️

How we communicate matters...🤔

What is the best course of action when your team of developers overwrite each other’s code even when you express they should not do that?

#Management #Developer

Refactoring code that hasn’t even been released yet is not how I want my team to spend time.

Got my copy of “It’s The Manager” by Jim Clifton and Jim Harter from Gallup.

Looking forward to seeing how much room there is to improve and how bad I’m f*#%ing it all up.

Does knowing you're not a good manager, make you a good manager?

Maybe.

But it also doesn't help me sleep at night.

Great thread about manager advice.

Ella Dawson dropping bombs over here making me re-think the past 313 days 👏

[ella dawson @brosandprose]

Here's some of the best advice I got when I became a manager last year! It's simple, but considering most people receive no management training whatsoever these days, it's better than nothing. Thread!
