2 weeks agoManagement values I didn't expect to learn
I was an individual contributor (IC) for over 20 years before moving into management. Even then, I was reluctant to take the job because I enjoyed doing the work so much. So I'm familiar with ICs, how they think, and what sorts of things they think about. Things like craft, product quality, three-month timelines, career development, and recognition. Now that I've been in management for a while, I also see how leadership thinks too.
