I am NOT a Fan of Heroism in the Engineering Industry

I’ve made many different mistakes in my career both as an engineer and engineering leader and one of them was that I wanted to be the “hero” who could solve all the issues instead of focusing on long-term success as a team. This was especially prevalent when I grew from Senior Software Engineer to Team Lead. I wanted to be included in all of the details and have a say in everything in order to have complete control of the team and the project. I spent long hours every day and also weekends doing that. This got me close to burning out and it made me re-think what I should actually be doing. This describes what “heroism” in our industry means pretty well. It’s a state where we think that we need to do an extraordinary amount of work in a specific timeframe. That can be working on weekends or doing long hours every day. The problem comes because it’s not sustainable and it can lead to burnout. 0:00 Intro 0:27 I wanted to be the "hero" 1:20 Newton's 3rd law 2:05 Doing good work long-term is a HUGE competitive advantage 3:20 As a manager, I value long-term good work instead of short spikes of great work 4:10 One of the bad habits that I used to do! 5:12 Learn more Join Engineering Leadership newsletter (126k+ subscribers): https://newsletter.eng-leadership.com/ Subscribe for weekly videos:    / @gregorojstersek   LinkedIn:   / gregorojstersek   Twitter/X:   / gregorojstersek   Instagram:   / gregor_ojstersek   Threads: https://www.threads.net/@gregor_ojste...
