Remote work didn’t break your culture—it revealed it was never that strong to begin with. If you’re still blaming remote for disengagement, you’re missing the point. It’s time to fix your leadership, not your Wi-Fi.
Feeling like a fraud? You're not broken—you’re in a system that punishes not knowing. Impostor syndrome isn’t a flaw, it’s a signal. Real leadership creates safety, not shame. You’re not the problem. The culture is.
No one wakes up knowing how to debug a legacy codebase held together by hope and half-written tests. You learn by breaking things, fixing them, and doing it again. You don’t need to know everything. You need to be fearless enough to figure it out.
Lead. Don’t Ctrl.
Your team isn’t agile if your codebase is a black box and the only documentation is tribal knowledge passed around in Slack. Documentation isn’t optional—it’s culture. If you won’t write it down, don’t expect to scale.
Lead. Don’t Ctrl.
