My management philosophy

Basic Principals

• Biweekly one on one meeting with direct reports. Biweekly setup reduces number of meetings and provides enough discussion points with engineers.
• Setup meetings with clear agenda, publish any information like link or document ahead of the meeting so that everyone get chance to review it. Publish notes after meeting.
• Involve entire team in design and architectural discussion and brain storming.
• Create small group of 2-3 engineers who are subject matter expert.
• Understand team’s execution ability. Understand team’s capacity.

Managing Remote Teams

• Setup team slack channel. Be active on the channel. Discourage one-on-one separate communication related to work.
• Make sure remote team is setup for success. Provide tools and technology for better productivity.
• Over communicate. Important to reiterate goals and objective of team and current project.
• Focus on outcome and productivity.
• Weekly standup video meeting.
