How can you broaden your sphere impact across your engineering org?
Mature tech companies have a growth ladder, highlighting different roles and their expectations. Higher levels are often associated with higher levels of impact.
For example, software engineers might be expected to deliver great software with their sphere of impact limited to their work.
Senior software engineers, the next level up, are expected to have a larger focus area of impact, so not only are they expected to deliver great software, but also help others on their team deliver great work through teaching, mentoring, and coaching.
Tech leads or staff engineers, the next level up, are expected to have an even broader sphere of impact in their teams and beyond, clearing the path to help each team member contribute the most they can, and guiding and mediating conversations to ensure they all remain aligned.
