As a product manager that recently absorbed that recently the technical management and FP&A of my software team (my org did some major restructuring), I believe autonomy and trust is needed.
I’ve been trying to “protect” the SDEs as much as possible, and that little change vs former management has moved the needle so much more.
Or maybe since I have an engineering background, I have a deeper empathy of the work.
Anyways, this is an excellent piece and thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We need more leaders like this 🙂
