What Matters Most in your Team

Well if you didn’t know before, I’m sure you’re figuring it out right now. The leader that is focused on their team isn’t being drawn into worthless debates and discussions that are distractions to what is really going. The leader that is focused on their team wants to make sure the team is good to go before the next release is. The leader that is focused on their team is thinking about next week when the new week starts so they can provide the environment their team needs to thrive.

What hasn’t Changed in your Meetings

People still need to attend them. Discussions still need to be had. Decisions still need to be made. Disagreements will arise with approach.

Am I Leading a Team or Delivering Code?

One of the biggest questions new leaders ask themselves when things get a little heady with their first team. What’s most important? The Team or the Delivery. Everyone will give you their own opinions but the only opinion that truly matters is yours. You know what you need to lead. You know what your team can deliver. And most importantly, you know what they need right now.
