Have you ever felt that you’re not yet the manager your role expects you to be?
I know how stressful it is to wonder if you’re getting it wrong, to feel like you’ve been promoted without a runbook to tell you how to succeed in your new position. Or to feel that someone handed you a runbook, but it’s written in a foreign language, or it calls on skills or habits you haven’t yet developed.
If that describes you, then I intend to focus on you in 2026. I want to help you strengthen habits and skills so that managing engineers can feel natural and you can become the manager your team needs without burning out or second-guessing yourself.
