From Leading to Lagging How to Stay Relevant?
summary
Engineering skills commonly plunge after moving to management and that loss drives burnout unless priorities change; the talk claims managers should accept the technical skills drop, stop trying to outcode the team and instead choose a few playing fields, work smarter by picking tasks not doing them faster, strategize risks, catalyze growth not churn, build psychological safety and a culture core to onboard and spread values, help people outgrow the role, make oneself replaceable, and measure success by others’ achievements rather than personal recognition.
