“Remember, managers are hubs of communication (see Chapter 12). The better they communicate across these sphere boundaries, the more people they can communicate with, and the more data they have. This consequently leads to better decision making. Ultimately, stronger communicators make better-informed decisions, and hopefully they are more successful because they waste less time wondering what to do.” TimeDecisionCommunicationWasteDataManagerBoundaryInformed Book:Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager Source: Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
“The Leads of Leads are switch hitters. Their day is equal parts tactics and strategy. While they have developed true distance from the day-to-day work, they still know how the work is done and can have an informed opinion about tactics relative to the work. They also have a more complete picture of the state of the company, which enables them to make better decisions and define better strategy. They see the complete game board. They see all the pieces, so they can be credible strategists.” DecisionStrategyTacticsLeadStrategistPictureGame Board Book:Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager Source: Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager
