An Engineering Leadership Roadmap
summary
An explicit roadmap recommends an eight-part framework across three phases — awareness, development, mastery — and lists concrete pillars: foundations, feedback and coaching, career growth, high-performing teams, strategy and vision, hiring, and technical excellence. It instructs using ready-made artifacts like one-on-one templates, performance-review and OKR templates, and growth-plan examples rather than inventing processes. It reports hiring external coaches and keeping a small advisory group (~3–4 mentors), teaching over 10,000 students, and aiming for flexible weeks like a 70/30 coding split.
