Servant leadership puts the team first. An engineering manager stays close to team members, understands their pain points, and helps them succeed while balancing technology, business needs, and people’s focus. section 1.3.7
Practice servant leadership by:
- Staying close enough to the team to understand obstacles and concerns. section 1.3.7
- Balancing technical judgment, business priorities, strategy, execution, and people’s focus. section 1.3.7
- Adapting the approach to circumstances rather than treating one leadership style as universally correct. section 1.5
