Management quality varies significantly across teams.

Some managers lack strong people management skills, which can affect team morale and growth.

A number of engineering leaders do not have sufficient technical depth, leading to gaps in understanding technical challenges and decision-making.

Focus on strengthening both the technical and people management capabilities of engineering leaders. Encourage ongoing training that blends technical understanding with effective team leadership practices. Empower managers to better support their teams by being more engaged with the technology and more intentional in mentoring, feedback, and communication.
