A milestone is less date and more definition.

Managers tell you where you are, leaders tell you where you're going.

A toxic person kills, and by kills I mean totally destroys teamwork.

If we're 15 minutes into a lifeless, redundant, status-based 1:1 and I don't have anything sitting in my back pocket, I'm going to turn it into a performance review.

One of your many jobs as manager is information conduit, and the rules are deceptively simple: for each piece of information you see, you must correctly determine who on your team needs that piece of information to do their job.

Watch with awe and amazement at how quickly an engineer will become totally annoyed by inefficiency.

Criticism is the best sign you're onto something.
