How I Lead

When I started leading the team at Grupo EUAX, it became the team with the best communication, the best synergy, and the best performance in the company. People acted as a team. These are the practices I used.

  1. 01

    Start from the person

    I look at what each person needs before I decide how to help. One engineer needs a course on Udemy or something similar. Another needs the framework documentation and style guide, such as the Rails Guides. The next step follows that gap.

  2. 02

    Learn on a project you own

    I ask people to start an open source project they can use to test the skills they are building. Taking it from the first commit through a real structure shows what a larger project takes, from start to finish.

  3. 03

    Teach the practice

    I pair program, run tech talks, and teach automated tests and how to put AI to work.

  4. 04

    Stay available

    At Grupo EUAX I kept a Teams call open for my whole working day, available for meetings and pair programming. The team liked staying connected. We kept working together even when nobody needed help.

  5. 05

    Drop everything to unblock

    When someone needed help, I stopped what I was doing and helped them get unblocked quickly. The team said that was what they liked.

  6. 06

    Review each other's code

    Everyone suggested improvements to each other's code. People reviewed one another, so review was a team habit.
