Sergii ZhukFollowBetter Programming--ListenShareDespite the technical nature of a Software Engineering Manager’s (EM) work, it is still a leadership position focused on empowering others. During my years at Facebook Reality Labs and WhatsApp, I explored multiple strategies to manage and support teams and ensure we achieved desired results and exceeded expectations.Below, I am excited to share hard-earned insights and best practices for being an efficient EM leader, delivering consistently, and keeping the team happy and well-balanced.“It’s all personal, every bit of business,” Michael Corleone of The Godfather said. Your partners don’t owe you anything. It’s their goodwill that helps and supports you.That’s it for today! As you embark on your leadership path, remember to prioritize the well-being of your people, showing care and dedication every day. Please comment, ping me on LinkedIn, and share other topics you’d like to discuss about success in tech.
