Managing at the threshold: Examining our principles in a moment of change David Yee LeadDev London
"Join David Yee as he explores liminal spaces and the principles that guide us in times of change, embracing adaptability and intentional leadership to thrive in an ever-evolving industry."
- Liminal spaces and moments are transitional phases that require a new set of skills and principles to navigate.
- These spaces are characterized by uncertainty, ambiguity, and a need for adaptability.
- The right thing to do in these moments is to notice, think, persuade, and then proceed.
- Engineer management has changed over the years, with new principles and best practices emerging in response to market and industry shifts.
- The craft of engineering management is not about having a single formula or answer, but about developing the skills to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity.
- It’s not about having all the answers, but about being able to question what guides you and finding a new way forward.
- Principles, values, and incantations serve as a foundation for decision-making in liminal spaces.
- By recognizing the liminal spaces we find ourselves in, we can take a more intentional approach to navigating them and finding a new way forward.
- The industry is not external to us, and we are not just passive participants in its processes, but rather, we are co-creators of its evolution.
- We need to recognize that our current dominant narratives and practices are not permanent and that we can shape a new future by adopting new principles and best practices.
- The great resignation and the shift in emphasis from employee retention to operational efficiency are indicative of a larger shift in the industry that requires a more intentional approach to leadership and management.
- The ability to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity is key to success in liminal spaces, and we need to develop the skills to do so in an adaptive and intentional way.
- The industry is characterized by rapid change and uncertainty, and we need to develop the adaptability to thrive in these conditions.
- By acknowledging the liminal spaces we find ourselves in, we can take a more intentional approach to navigating them and finding a new way forward.
- The principles that guide us in times of stability are not always sufficient in times of change and uncertainty, and we need to be able to question what guides us and find new ways forward.
