Hello Reader, As an Engineering leader, you are going to get requests all the time. So you need to prioritize how you are going to manage that. According to a study by McKinsey, leaders who set clear priorities for their teams see a 25% increase in overall productivity. You might have to say ‘no’ to your direct team or product leaders or might have to say no to priorities. In Leadership, saying no means 'not right now', but let's work together to figure out 'when.' While setting priorities, Never say we can’t do this now, hoping they would go away but instead, share the priorities and your roadmap 🛣️ with them. Ask them how their work takes priority over your existing roadmap and work with them to build a mutual understanding. I have attached a handy infographic for you to learn and reference when you will say no next. How do you say 'No'This infographic and part of the lesson is taken from the Developer to Leader course which is filled with fun lil graphics like these.
