 In these Engineering Manager 80-20 short videos, we try to provide advice to engineering managers to help them build successful engineering teams. And in this video, I want to address a question that I recently received from a younger engineer. He asked me, what do I do if I don't agree with my manager's approach on a certain project? How can I tell him about that? Now, obviously, this younger engineer didn't feel comfortable approaching his manager about these things. This is the manager's fault. And so I want to flip this around and answer it from the engineering manager's perspective. You can't let this happen to your team. You need to constantly be talking to your team members and letting them know that they need to come to you with advice from time to time. Even though you may be more experienced than them, you want their feedback, good or bad. So continue to tell them this because it is very important if they're not comfortable talking to you, they'll kind of be a disconnect within the team. Now, I want to give you two steps for doing this successfully. The first step is to do just that. Constantly talk to your team both individually and in groups about this culture and let them know that, listen, everyone makes mistakes. You're going to make mistakes. I'm going to make mistakes. I want to know about my mistakes and I'll let you know about yours. Let's have a constant feedback loop in this group. Continue to tell them that. The second step you should take is bring structure to this. So if you have weekly meetings, put it on the agenda. For example, at EMI, on our weekly team meetings, we have a component of the agenda set up just for this, feedback. So I'm constantly telling our team here, give me feedback, good or bad. Give me feedback because if I'm doing something wrong or I could be doing something better, I want to do it and I want you to tell me that. And after time, people become comfortable with that and that creates really winning teams. Now, if I take a minute and look at it from that younger engineer that asked me the question how he might approach his manager, my recommendation is to just simply go to your manager and say, listen, this may be my inexperience, but I just have a question. Why are we taking this approach on the project as opposed to this one? Wouldn't this approach be better? And then hear what he or she has to say. Just come off as innocent and ask a question and usually people will respond. I hope you found this video helpful for you and your engineering management strategies as you move forward. Please subscribe to this playlist as we do publish these videos weekly and we hope that we can continue to help you engineer your own success.
