Recommendation

Instagram’s head of engineering James Everingham didn’t like being in charge of teams, but when an interesting challenge required him to step up, he made people management palatable to himself by thinking about it as he would about software. He immediately saw a leap in productivity and happiness from his team. He has since developed a management style that applies principles of quantum mechanics. If you find that intimidating, he’s got you covered: Everingham explains the very basics of quantum mechanics in a way laypeople can understand. He breaks down his management technique into five principles and expands each one with specific examples. getAbstract recommends this article for techies who struggle to enjoy the challenge of managing teams. 

Take-Aways

  • Five principles of quantum team management can help improve your team’s success. One: Define several metrics of success rather than zooming in on just one.
  • Two: Suggestions from people in authority positions limit possible outcomes and, as a result, the number of paths to success. Avoid imposing your opinion.
  • Three: If you have to get involved, craft questions that help the team feel empowered.
