  • The team's ability to deliver is equal to the senior engineers' ability to deliver
  • The ability to improve is equal to the ability of specific senior engineers to improve
  • This is not scalable and relies too much on too few people in the team
  • The non-senior team members do not improve, this approach perpetuates the current "snapshot" of the team - the seniors will stay seniors, the non-seniors will not be promoted.

So even though the results were good, they were not great. Remember all the concerns team leads have on their minds? this approach led to unsatisfied internal stakeholders (not winning the championship), unsatisfied fans/customers (not winning the championship => the product quality was limited and did not improve), unsatisfied team (they were all a shadow of the senior engineer with no future to be seniors themselves), which makes the team lead itself unsatisfied - and who can blame them, how can you be satisfied when everyone around you is not?

linkPhil Jackson - win by maximizing the team performance

Phil was hard to process for the team, he arrived with a completely different approach which turned upside down the way the team behaved so far.
The discussions and plans moved from "what can we do to make Michael Jordan score?" to "what can we do to win in the long term?". This is a huge difference that made the real change in the group.
Phil put emphasis on team building, made everyone focused on the target of winning and to rely on each other. "There is no I in team".
-Phil was a true inclusive leader, fostering collaboration (reducing the bus factor and not necessarily hiring new team members for their resume but their ability to complement the team.

After some adaption time there was a huge difference in the team performance that led to winning the championship. All the disadvantages from before disappeared:

  • The team's ability to deliver is equal to the entire team's ability to deliver
  • The ability to improve is equal to the entire team's ability to improve
  • This is as scalable as it can get - it relies on everyone in the team
  • The non-senior team members improve because the senior team members push them to excellence

This approach makes the stakeholders, fans/customers and the team satisfied.

When you put weight on the long term goal and make sure everyone on the team improves you get the best outcomes. Focusing on one person or on short term goals (winning only the next game and not the next seasons) doesn't get you to your maximum. No shortcuts here.

linkThe role of the senior team member

Doug Collins believed that the senior engineer's responsibility is to bring success by leading the team and carry it forward.
Phil Jackson believed that the senior engineer's responsibility is to bring success by pushing the team to excellence "from behind", being a servant leader that defines success by the team's success and not by personal success.

Hi all! I am Shai :)

Welcome to my open-source blog!

I have worked in various engineering positions throughout the last 10 years:

  • spent all of my professional years in the info sec and cyber industries
  • in the last 3 years I am an engineering team lead

Currently working as an engineering team lead in Snyk.

When I am not coding you can probably find me playing the piano, running in the streets or just having some "quality" Netflix time.
