Managing people 🤯 | Andreas Klinger
- They end up micro-managing not only what when but also how people do their work.

- If you got the time to micro-manage people, you can most likely hire cheaper, less talented people for your work.I think it roots in a misunderstanding of what the role of a manager is:

- What is the situation that led to current problems?What changed? What is currently required?

- The easiest way to have people trust your work is by transparently sharing it without request.Have everything accessible where people would look for it.

- In every discussion/project/problem/situation, it needs to be clear who makes decisions…everyone else only adds opinions.Ideally, the person who will afterward do (or lead) the follow-up work makes the decisions.

- When defining processes, avoid back and forthEg. if you give feedback on something assume that they will either do it or get back to you with reasons why not.

- your job is not to manage peoplebut to manage processes and lead peopleYou manage processes on how you expect work to be done, where each person's authority starts and ends, how their careers are made, and how all this can be discussed, and/or changedAdditionally, you are leading people by example and through empathy.

- A huge production incident happened?How was this possible in the first place?Where was the focus of the engineering team?Was there a process in place to avoid it?Should there be one?The person breaking production isn't at fault here.

- When you feedback work, it's usually easier to discuss the context objectively than the person themselves
