Career development for engineering managers

What steps can you take to be a better leader?
June 03, 2021

What comes to mind when you hear the words, ‘career development for managers’?

If you’re like me, it’s one of two things: either obsessively climbing the ladder or those awful mandatory ‘trainings’ that get hastily assembled. (Otherwise known as, ‘How can we have hired so many brilliant engineers, yet none of them seem to have any idea what appropriate professional behavior looks like – and how long till we get sued?!’)

No one would claim that we have things like engineering roles, levels, and career progression locked down, but it all looks quite mature and well-understood compared to the Wild Wild West that is engineering management.
