"You have to train yourself in leadership, and you can't afford to wait until you get promoted to begin the process." This line from *It’s Your Ship* resonates deeply. Leading two tech teams, I’ve learned leadership begins with how you act, not a title. I ask myself: - Am I…

When providing constructive feedback, aim to make the recipient feel: "I'm not abandoning you, but I'm also holding you accountable."

When the deadline is tight, teamwork is key. Today, the final day before feature freeze, one task remained unfinished. Rather than assigning it to one person, the entire team collaborated—sharing ideas, asking insightful questions, and deepening our collective understanding of…

Today, in our weekly team meeting, I shook things up. We brainstormed initiatives for 20 minutes. Each team member wrote down one improvement for our daily work experience and read it aloud. We repeated this process to build on each other's ideas. Then, I asked them to choose…

Yesterday, a team member was upset after being passed over for a promotion. She couldn’t understand why someone with 20 years of experience but only 1 month at the company got the role instead of her. I reminded her (and myself) that we shouldn’t compare our chapter 1 to…

You grow to the next level when you learn to say "no" instead of "yes" just to please others. Sometimes, explaining the "no" helps, but standing firm is key. It’s also important to teach your team this—empowering them to set boundaries leads to healthier, more focused work.

Some days, as a manager, I want to bury my head in the sand and return to being an employee—no team to lead, no tough decisions, just me and my tasks.

I received an email from HR this week reminding me that our quarterly check-in is in four weeks. Then, a developer skipped steps in our feature approval process. Before fixing it immediately, I paused to consider—when should I address this? Quarterly check-ins vs. immediate…
