Most bad engineering managers are not bad engineers.
They’re often excellent ones — and that’s the problem.
This episode explores why smart, high-performing engineers often struggle when they move into management. Not because they lack leadership skills, but because they never change how they measure value, success, and self-worth.
We break down:
why optimizing people like systems fails
how identity gets stuck in the IC mindset
why micromanagement is often a role-confidence issue
what actually changes when engineers become effective managers
If you're an engineer transitioning into management — or questioning whether the role is right for you — this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.
In the next episode, we tackle the question no one answers honestly: is management actually worth it?
