How to Help Engineers Define Their Growth Goals

It's your job as a leader to help your engineers find their growth goals -> this is how to do that!

Intro

When people feel like they are growing, that’s when they feel the most motivated.

This is really important to understand as a leader, because you are playing a big part in defining the overall culture inside your team and also in your organization.

And it all starts with the clarity of defining goals for your people.

Do they want to become a Staff Engineer, an Architect, or a Manager? Or are they happy where they are at the moment and wish to grow by learning a new skill? What does growth actually mean for them?

Those are all very important questions that, as leaders, we should definitely help our engineers find answers to!

How to do that, you may ask? To help us with this, I am happy to bring in Simone D’Amico as a guest author.

Let’s introduce our guest author.
