“This is why moving into management is so scary. Gallup found in their research that managers don’t just influence the results their teams achieve, they explain a full 70% of the difference” (!!!) @knotnicky #LeadDevBerlin 
Brilliant 10 mins from @knotnicky on what we can reapply from software engineering practices to engineering management:
1) Don't repeat ~yourself~ decisions
2) Don't reinvent the wheel
3) Keep it simple
4) Apply product thinking

Especially loved @knotnicky’s point that in engineering management, the unit of reuse is the decision. And people want to know the why behind a decision, but also sometimes they want to know decisions will be fair and consistent. This is what process is useful for! #LeadDevBerlin
We often talk about the move from engineer to manager being a career change rather than a promotion (and it is!). Really love this reassurance from @knotnicky tho that we aren’t leaving everything behind - some of what we already know we can reapply in a new way #LeadDevBerlin
