Interesting piece on why focusing on clarity, conditions and constraints can help figure out why a team can be dysfunctional.
Also a good reminder of the fact that people are not just resources you can swap easily.
Interesting exploration on why we see a large resignation movement (at least in the US, the study is US centric anyway). It's clearly not only about wages and they are other even more powerful forces at play. First and foremost: mind your corporate culture.
Excellent series about work sample tests during interviews. Definitely good food for thought in there, I already changed how I was doing a few things with it and what I tested worked nicely so far.
Interesting musing about change management: don't come up with something too perfect if you want people to make it their own.
Interesting idea... Until that article, I didn't fully realize the impact of the Osborne Effect inside of a company and not towards its customers.
Excellent advice for managers. Framing the context is always important. Otherwise this can create stress.
Interesting findings about team dynamics. It's actually a good thing that we seem to usually prefer people exhibiting skills + friendly and trustworthy, but that if we can get only one of the two we favor friendly and trustworthy over skills. It's healthy, just skills tend to drag teams down.
Like it or not but the "manager" label indeed changes interpersonal dynamics.
Good wrap-up with a practical example.
As usual, very good advices on how to delegate. This time about the briefing and feedback parts.
A bit of an oversimplification of course... still it's OK since it's on purpose to get the point accross. In any case it's a good way to find out where you stand and where your weaknesses are as a manager.
Nice description of the community management in the Rust community.
Good set of guidelines to figure out what works or not in virtual meetings vs in-person meetings.
A very interesting look at the history of the Agile movement. What it really meant and what it degenerated into.
Again, very good (and short) advice about delegation.
Very interesting exploration on software engineering "facts" and what we can really do to increase quality. Unsurprisingly caring for the people seems to be the top factor.
Good set of advice on how to handle and plan for failure when delegating.
And a good approach to pick what to delegate.
Interesting definition of delegation
