A good manager focuses on managing impediments, process, team’s health, protects the boundaries of self-organizing teams, promotes a healthy culture, and helps eliminate waste.

If you focus on the strength of the team, you will begin to find work as a positive challenge.

Team performance is directly proportional to team stability. Focus on building and maintaining a stable team. Stability reduces friction and increases credibility and confidence.

Bypass the authoritocracy. Don't go to interviews looking for validation from others. Instead, develop your talent stack and search for teams who need you.
