When it Rains…

… it will pour, it will sour on every idea and plan that you had that were meticulously and perfectly planned. So have a backup for what happens, when you can’t do that one thing that you had planned for. If we should have learned anything over the past few years, have a backup, always have a backup.

Routines

Are routines better than streaks? Before streaks, we had routines, things we just did every time we had to do that thing. We didn’t gamify it, we didn’t streak it, we simply knew we had to do it and did it. Are routines harder to follow when you don’t have a counter helping you?

Levelling up your Team

The goal isn’t to get them to where everyone else thinks they should be or when everyone else thinks they should be there. The goal is to get them there when you think they should be there and when you think the time is right for them to be there. You can’t level up your team following someone else’s plan if you don’t believe it.  Hold strong to what you are doing, it will pay off.

What are you Leading your Team Towards?

Every leader has the big goal at the back of their mind, the unseen goal, the one that doesn’t result in releases, bug fixes, accolades, or upgrades. It’s something bigger, something on a grander scale. Make our code better. Respond quickly to customer issues. Gain better code coverage. Ensure all aspects of the suite are covered. These are the goals that push the team forward and result in great releases, bug fixes, accolades, and upgrades.
