Is fear stopping your engineering team from achieving its goals?

How to help engineers overcome their fear of failure
March 14, 2022

As engineering teams, we spend a lot of time putting together ambitious goals.

But the more ambitious the goal, the bigger the potential for failure, and therefore anxiety and fear as we go after it.

That’s why, as leaders, one of the greatest investments we can make in our team is to help engineers overcome their fear of failure.

In this article, we’ll explore how engineering leaders can create an environment that reduces fear of failure so teams can safely work towards ambitious delivery goals with passion and focus. We’ll look at what fear is, why it matters to engineering teams, and what tools we can use to combat it, from small releases and iterative deployments to automation and incident practice.
