 In order to be a successful engineering manager, you're going to need to do things that are uncomfortable to you, which means you're going to need to overcome fear. So to help you with that, I want to share a story with you from a book that I recently read entitled When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. The story goes like this. There was a little boy who was walking with his mother. He's walking through a town. And there's an evil looking, growling dog chained up, staring at the boy, barking viciously at the boy. The mother and his boy continue to walk. All of a sudden, the dog breaks the chain and starts running for the little boy. Now, everybody in town is looking at this, and they are terrified of what's about to happen. But all of a sudden, the boy does something that shocks everyone. Instead of running away from the dog, he runs straight at the dog as fast as he possibly can. And all of a sudden, the dog stops and runs away in the opposite direction. The point of this story is simple. It emphasizes the importance of facing your fear to overcome them. And that's what you're going to have to do to be a successful engineering manager and leader because you are going to have to go outside of your comfort zone, which means you're going to have to overcome fear. And I hope that this week's video will help you to do just that.
