Transitions into management

“With a flavour of failures, with a flavour of mistakes, with a flavour of exceptions”

@JCardenete #LeadDevSanFrancisco Image
“We’re going to look at two different angles:

1) Person (right person for this transition to manager)

2) Environment (set them up to succeed)

Success = high performing team + “happy” manager + for a long time (2+ years)”

@JCardenete #LeadDevSanFrancisco Image
“Three Things to Look for in the Person:
[0) Care about people (non-neg) ]
1) Doubts (filter out power hungry)
2) Growth mindset (highly competent at engineering —> highly incompetent at managing)
3) Courage to be disliked (recognition changes)

1) What is inclusive hiring?

“Inclusion is a foundation for setting and creating a level playing field for people to be given opportunities to succeed. Inclusion has to presume competence.”

@sushmars #LeadDevSanFrancisco
“Inclusive hiring is not just hiring underrepresented minorities and checking a box.

Diverse, motivated employees push the company forward so much more than companies that lack that”

@sushmars #LeadDevSanFrancisco
Why is inclusive hiring important?
1) foundation to diversity
2) diversity of thought
3) deepens the pool
4) enhances innovation
