Herding Cats, Issue 16

January 31st, 2017

The 16th issue of Herding Cats, a curated newsletter for people who lead software teams, is now live.

In this issue, find out why it takes 6 days to change 1 line of code, what great managers do on a day-to-day basis, what to do when 1:1s get too personal, how to build employee loyalty, why you should manage your energy (not your time), and more!

Also, in our second installment of Monday Routines, we sit down with C. Todd Lombardo to see how he balances cyclocross, design sprints, food challenges, and jazz sessions on a typical Monday as Chief Design Strategist at Fresh Tilled Soil.

In the “only slightly off-topic” category, Alan Burdick shares his thoughts and observations on time in a deep and thought-provoking article. As a father of twins, this one hits especially close to home for me.

Check it out.
