Giving your engineers a strong sense of agency can help build trust, improve code quality and velocity, and hopefully keep your engineers from leaving.
Engineering leaders are under a lot of pressure right now to do more with less. Maybe your technical debt is piling up and delivery is slowing down. You might wonder if your team is struggling with remote work.
In these cases, it’s always tempting to jump straight into solutions. You could set stricter expectations for when engineers will be at their keyboards and have managers keep track of this. For a while, you might see the activity inside of your engineering function increase dramatically.
