Your team isn’t lucky to have you, you’re lucky they haven’t quit. Real leadership is rooted in humility, not ego. If you want loyalty, stop managing from a pedestal and start leading from the trenches.
You don’t need khakis to lead. You don’t need corporate lingo either. Just show up as yourself—sarcasm, t-shirts, quirks and all. Authenticity isn’t unprofessional. It’s magnetic.
Tech leadership isn’t a solo campaign—it’s a co-op game, and someone on your team keeps friendly firing. This post breaks down how to lead without blowing up your own squad. Sarcasm included. Respawns not guaranteed.
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.
