Succeed As A Software Engineering Manager Uncover the best practices & tools to optimize your leadership skills as a current -or future- software eng. manager 🚀

Why is common amongst software engineers, and what are the different ways to deal with it? We're taking you on a read to uncover it all 👀 . https://blog.napice.tech/2022/10/26/imposter-syndrome-among-software-engineers/

4 reasons why a lot of highly skilled software engineers struggle to take the next step in their careers:

👉 Not enough efforts put into building relationship with team members and managers.

👉 Lack of confidence when trying to get in a better role, or imposter syndrome.

👉 Career path is not properly mapped out with goals and OKRs.

👉 Not asking for long-term coaching or support from mentors.

A positive company culture is crucial to 🥇 retain employees, 🥈 attract the best talents on the market and 🥉 have your team generate outstanding performance.

As a software engineering manager, how to implement this culture within your team?

🍀 Work towards the same goals. Make sure the team understands what the company goals are and set OKRs.

🍀 Guide your team to their own career success. Ensure their constant growth through their day-to-day tasks & projects.

🍀 Show flexibility and empathy. Be understanding of their situations and help them resolve conflicts.

🍀 Give autonomy, don't micromanage. A good mentor should trust their mentee. If goals are well communicated, there is no need for micromanagement.

🍀 Communicate effectively.
