I've been developing a growth framework at my org for the primary reason to ensure that we can have consistent conversations across teams and ultimately, provide a reference point for development teams as they work with their managers on growth.
I think they make a lot of sense.
One question .. has anyone planned out how Staff Developers work within most organizations? I feel the Venn diagram for them between an engineering manager has plenty of overlap, where the people aspect (all things HR, hiring, growth) are on the engineering/people manager.
Can a Staff Developer make decisions? Or are they more of an influencer?
It’s influence all the way down. You want to keep things pretty abstract and let people come up with the solution on their own. 90% of the time it will be what you want, 5% they ask you for help and it’s what you expect and 5% maybe they amaze you..
