Practice

Build your engineering leadership playbook

Write in the form. It stays on this device so you can return after each chapter. Print it when you want a paper copy.

What do people already come to you for?

The skills the next role requires that you do not yet practice.

Name them. Avoiding them is also a decision.

Twelve months. Specific enough to disappoint you if you miss.

Lines from the book you intend to keep using.

Rituals you will install, not slogans.

Stop-doing list, one deputy, one brief.

A decision log that other people can read.

Evidence the team can ship without you in the critical path.
