Getting Real. Establishing Realistic Expectations for Yourself and Your Team
• 25 minIt’s a fact of life that people are imperfect, so why do we try as coders to be perfect in our jobs? It’s just not feasible nor rational. This episode of Programming Leadership sheds light on the unrealistic expectations that clients, bosses and ourselves set because we strive to be perfect in an imperfect world. Programmers need to set realistic goals with their bosses, teams and with themselves. It’s only when we get real, do real results happen. Show Notes Leadership is creating an environment where everyone can contribute. We can’t say yes to something until we can truly say no to something. Look for the good and the bad in the retrospective of a project. Document lessons learned. Stop trying to be perfect in front of your boss and colleagues. It’s okay to not know the answer and to be imperfect. Links: GitPrime Chats with Jerry marcusblankenship.com
