Good Teams, Bad Business Decisions
- Small teams with focused development.
- Product and Engineering managers act as glue between teams for larger projects.
- An Engineering manager has two distinct roles: Project Manager & Talent Manager. Employees reporting to a manager may not work on the same project as their manager. This forces a culture of building on the success of others and engages the people manager to help employees to grow.
- Bad business.
- CEO removed cash/stock incentives while taking big payouts.
Should have created the right incentive payout for the CEO using targets.
