Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of working in teams, and as leaders it’s important to understand how to recognise and resolve both unhealthy and healthy conflict. In my experience, understanding the difference between these two types of conflict, and how to move between them, is key to creating a productive and collaborative team environment.

Burnout in engineering teams is rarely caused by a single event. Instead, it’s the result of persistent, often overlooked management habits that quietly erode motivation, well-being, and performance. Here are 9 habits, why they matter, what happens if you ignore them, and actionable tips to build a healthier, more sustainable engineering culture.

Transitioning from an individual contributor role to a leadership position, especially in the fast-paced tech industry, is hugely challenging. Most new leaders don't receive any training at all in the first 10 years of their new responsibilities.

Delaying or avoiding difficult conversations may lead to unresolved issues which can compound over time, similar to ignoring a mechanical issue with a vehicle until it becomes irreparable. Also, conflict is not a hindrance but a catalyst for growth and innovation. Let's discuss how to build a culture where disagreements among peers are not only tolerated but encouraged.
