208: Do You Make This Common Mistake in Engineering Management?
In this episode, I share the story of Greg, who found himself trapped in a lose-lose leadership dilemma—step in and fix his team’s mistakes, or delegate and risk failure. Sound familiar?
Greg had been making great progress in his leadership journey, but when pressure hit, he fell back into old habits of doing instead of leading. The result? More hours, more stress, and creeping burnout.
Together, we unpacked the real issue—not just delegation, but the hidden cost of keeping underperformers on the team.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of work, managing underperformance, or balancing leadership with workload, this one’s for you.
