There are a number of ways to develop software: Test-driven, Behavior-driven, Product-driven, Customer-driven (to name a few). But once you move into engineering leadership, you're no longer dealing with software directly.
It's all about People Driven Development.
How do you work with people to drive this engineering product forward?
How do you manage people so they feel seen, respected, emotionally safe, challenged, and empowered?
How do you deliver business results and also focus relentlessly on people?
Eddie and Morgan try to help their fellow engineering leaders through difficult situations where the problem isn't really technology at all.
