Pt. 2 ?? Make hiring easier
Tech Leaders
Helping technical experts scale their impact and income as business leaders
Here’s what’s in today’s edition of The Technical Leader:
__________________________________________________________________________
Your main focus should be creating the right culture for your team.
Culture controls the pace of work, how things get shipped, and who joins (and stays on) your team.
Remember these 2 principles when hiring to ensure you create the team culture you want:
This is a good thing. You want to turn away people who aren’t aligned with your tech stack and the best practices that come along with it.
Each tech stack comes with its own subculture that you need to consider.
If you want to be a leader of a high performance team, you want to chose a popular (yet stable) cutting tech stack that is enjoyable to work with for a long period of time.
This is a key part that reflects your pulse on the most cutting edge technology.
You need to make choices that instills confidence in their ability to follow you into the future and that they can trust you to help them excel in their career.
Get clear on the “ways of working” for your team.
Where is everyone located?
Are you in-office only, hybrid, or a remote team?
How do you handle synchronous and asynchronous work to optimize your team’s time?
The more you can lean into async hybrid and remote work, the larger the talent pool becomes.
After working with dozens of developers all over the world, I’ve seen first hand just how much top talent is available in these emerging markets.
