Things I've learned transitioning from engineer to engineering manager
As an engineering manager, you'll need to put company first, team second and your team members third.<p>I disagree with this a ton. The best managers I've had flipped #1 and #2. When your team is performing, the company profits. Far too often I've seen the manager put the company way ahead of the team, and that leads to attrition within your team or a major lack of motivation.
