#EngineeringManagement #information #communication
Here are a few takeaways:

1. Categorize information

Don't push everything on employees. Learn what needs to be communicated proactively, and what information they should be allowed to pull for themselves. This helps you avoid information overload.
2. Consider asynchronous standups

Daily standups aren't suitable for every team. As an alternative, you can encourage your team to document their weekly input, and go through each others' logs at the end of the week to see what their peers have been up to.
3. People over tools

Managing the flow of communications requires prioritizing, seeing the bigger picture, and being a team player, which can't be improved exclusively by tools. Tools can help you deal with information overload, but your main focus must be on the people.

@rodchile shares valuable advice on creating efficient and engaging processes for your teams.

Hosted by @FancyKarolina, powered by @codingsans

#EngineeringManagement #processes
Here are a few takeaways:

1. Focus on the bigger picture

Understand the business goals and the aims of your teams before introducing a new process. If you're not sure how a process would help them, take a step back, and identify what the root of the problem is first.
2. Processes aren't the only solutions

New processes can't solve everything. In reality, trying to fix behavior problems by introducing a new process is counterproductive. In these cases, retrospective team meetings and coaching sessions are more helpful.

@jstanier gives valuable advice on how to manage your energy, not your time.

#EngineeringManagement #leadership
Here are a few takeaways:

1. Optimize for output

Set realistic goals for yourself at the beginning of each week. Instead of trying to make every second productive, focus on the output you want to achieve, and leave enough breaks and prep time between your activities.
2. Don't overbook yourself

Unexpected changes will inevitably happen. You might need to drop everything to help a colleague or prioritize an urgent task. Fill your calendar 75-80% at max to make sure you leave time for such cases.

Steven Lopez, VPE at @deem discusses choosing the right tech stack for your business, especially when going through a digital transformation.

#EngineeringManagement
Here are the main aspects you need to consider in a digital transformation:

1. People
Always start with people. The key to digital transformation is getting your people to work with the technology. If you lack the people who can work with your tech stack, you can’t move forward.
2. Processes

Take account of the processes you have in place. Include the communication, project management, DevOps, QA, etc. Make sure you find every aspect that may be improved upon or changed to better fit your needs going through a digital transformation.

@AlvaroRMoya talks about building and leading high-performance tech teams.

#EngineeringManagement #leadership #HighPerformance
Here are a few takeaways:

1. Know your metrics

If you want to measure high performance, don't focus exclusively on the delivery. Make sure employee satisfaction is high, and your team understands the business goals, so they know how to plan their tasks effectively.
2. Do it one step at a time

Building a high-performance team takes time. First, define which areas you want to work on with your team based on your company's key values. Then, set action items with them to improve those areas one by one.

@deacix shares valuable advice on how to start a DAO, and talks about creating 1inch Network.

Check out the full interview:

Hosted by @FancyKarolina, powered by @codingsans

#EngineeringManagement #leadership #DAO
1. Keep it safe

Don't release code without auditing it. A lot of hacks can happen if you put code into production without doing a proper audit first. Avoid this mistake, and prioritize security - before the latest release, 1inch had 10 audits to ensure safety.
2. Find the right contributors

In a DAO, people have shared access to the company's assets, so make sure you share your work with the right people. If somebody abuses the network for their personal gain, it's time to say goodbye to them.

#EngineeringManagement
Here are a few takeaways:

1. Hire for success

The secret of building well-aligned teams is establishing the right hiring strategy. Technical knowledge is important, but focus on finding culturally aligned people who are deeply interested in their field.
2. Keep your teams aligned

When you have teams all around the world, you have to find the right balance between autonomy and alignment. Some practices must be standardized among teams so that you're able to run cross-functional programs.
