Managing Mob Teams with Vitaly Sharovatov
Do you have any experience managing individuals on a team? How did it go? Alternatively, have you ever resisted the urge to manage and incentive individuals and instead focused on the system, mob/ensemble, or team? What would that be like? What are the pros and cons of either approach? Join us as we have a fantastic time discussing with Vitaly Sharovatov where he passionately shares about managing mob teams. First, we dive into The Candle Problem. Second, that leads us into conversationally exploring individual incentives, motivation, systems thinking, and managing mobs. Third, after connecting that to solo vs. ensemble hiring, we jump to mob onboarding, knowledge management, and knowledge systems. Lastly, Vitaly enthusiastically shares about the importance of ethics to everyday tasks in development, engineering, and management. Video and Show Notes: https://youtu.be/fVfx2_yfzxQ
