There’s one common ingredient across every type of manager: You’re leading people. So the core of what makes for good management can’t be all that different, whether you’re leading a team of baristas or engineers.

The first big part of your job as a manager is to ensure that your team knows what success looks like and cares about achieving it. (...) sharing it at every opportunity—from writing emails to setting goals, from checking in with a single report to hosting large-scale meetings.

...process, which describes how your team works together. You might have a superbly talented team with a very clear understanding of what the end goal is, but if it’s not apparent how everyone’s supposed to work together or what the team’s values are, then even simple tasks can get enormously complicated. Who should do what by when? What principles should govern decision-making?

If you try to separate the social from the technical, and assign different domain owners to each, you are slicing up the ownership and responsibility lengthwise. You’re setting yourself up for squabbles about whose fault it really was, instead of making the lines of responsibility and accountability crystal clear.

... They knew how to manage, but they didn't know how to do anything. If you are a great person why do you want to work for somebody you can't learn anything from?

The next important bucket that managers think about is people, otherwise known as the who. Are the members of your team set up to succeed? Do they have the right skills? Are they motivated to do great work?

Es como esos letreros, que uno ve cuando pasa por las autopistas que dicen 'No podemos conducir por ti'; y yo siempre pienso: ¿y quién te ha dicho a ti que quiero que conduzcas por mí?

Experienced employees mostly need a leader and just a bit of a manager. If they’ve made it to a certain point in their careers, they’re probably good at getting their work done.

Nobody ever applies for a job called 'leader.’ The job is usually called ‘manager.’ We have to restore dignity to the office of the manager. (...) We’ve allowed ourselves to fall victim to this idea of grandiosity — that leadership is better than management. We focus on the esoteric, complex ideas that make us a “leader” rather than the specific things managers must do well.

In many ways, I’d argue product managers should always have a personal goal of working out how they could make themselves redundant (granted, one might never achieve it).

You know who the best managers are? They're the great individual contributors who never, ever want to be a manager, but decide they want to be a manager, because no one else is going to be able to do as good a job as them.
