Here is everything I found interesting about Engineering Leadership during February 2024.

This month's list draws out the recurring theme of the pivotal role of effective communication, trust-building, and leadership behaviour in fostering a productive and innovative engineering culture.

Articles like The Secret to a Great Planning Process - Lessons from Airbnb and Eventbrite{ and Top Managers Are Abandoning RACI for Impact Delegation{ highlight innovative frameworks and approaches to planning and delegation that prioritise clarity, collaboration, and empowerment. Continuing the theme of progressing through engineering ranks we have a list of falsehoods that junior developers believe about becoming senior{. Contrast this with a perspective from the other side of the table{ as a new manager looks back on what changes in the step up from individual contributor. Followed up with with 5 Pieces of Advice for Junior Software Engineers Starting their First Job{. Finally, if you want to get the vocabulary of management then the DIY MBA: My Reading List{ is a good, if somewhat selectively edited, place to start.

Enjoy!
