Hi Marcus, i have just seen your video and i enjoyed it.

Why refer to CEO as a female when you’re sharing a male perspective? You realize that females will never be as generous with you and most females will aim to put you down bc you’re a male, will make incessant sexist remarks at you for being a male with any power, and will do so without ever being able to accept criticism themselves. Why give to a movement that hates you and judges you constantly?

Great content. Delegation is my biggest weakness, and I know I won't be able to solve this with just one video. But at least it points me to the right direction.

Love your content Marcus!

Thank you so much for this video. I've learned about employee empowerment as the Director of my own firm but I never had it broken down so simply for me. Feels amazing to step away and have the experts on my team take charge of their own "problem space".

Great videos hope you can be back soon! Also would love to see a list of your recommended books!

Just found your videos! wow please make more!! So insightful. can't sing your praises highly enough

This is such a good summary thank you!

Art versus science is a good example. Art is about beauty. Beauty is by definition a harmony of singular truths or science. To take each individual color and by harmony in comparison create a truth or something greater than the individual colors. The problem with art and science to be effective in a post Modern culture is challenging. There is no beauty or art when truth is relative and harmony now impossible.

Thanks Marcus. This was fantastic. I am interested in having you on my podcast for my audience could hear from you. Let me know if you have anytime for that.

Does tech managment have coding in modules

Wow this is good for senior leaders

Thank you for making this video

These videos are all extremely helpful. Hoping you'll decide to share more of your expertise in the future. In the meantime: thank you!

Hope you come back to youtube, your content is incredible!!!

Good jobs

One of my biggest weaknesses. I just can't trust people to do things right and it probably comes down to the fact that I'm weak at holding others accountable

Great advice you have here. I’m a mobile app release manager and incident management is something that I take on. All of the steps you’ve explained are great checkpoints and grounding points to settle panic.

Thanks Marcus. Awesome video content. Works as a Very practical hands-on leadership guide. Crisp and easy to consume, than going through bunch of high level structured but fluffy learning courses .. hope you are still actively monitoring these comments. Please do share your experiences and more videos like this

Upptäckte dig nyss, synd att du inte skapar fler videos längre:/ Otroligt bra content:)

Great video -thank you! Of course, when including every stakeholder for every decision, speed of decision making may decrease. Any rules of thumb or tenets on to how much to include stakeholders and when not to?

Thank you so much! This is very insightful!

I try to do skip levels meetings, but I also meet with my teams on a monthly basis. Team A monthly sync, Team B monthly sync. It is not a project review meeting; it is more for knowing them and catching any concerns directly. Also, it is helpful to see how every member interacts.

What would be a good agenda and topics that are suitable to discuss?

Have a session for performance review also

I really needed this. Was stuck in the one-man-show situation for years managing teams for more than 13 years. This really helps me grow

Good content. Providing your thoughts is great. Wondering if adding some additional examples with concrete situations or/and making videos about your theory with visuals and tables/structures.

Your videos are great and I've shared them with all my R&D leadership team.

Great tips!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Could you share your perspective on evaluating manager’s performance? If people under him are not happy and complain, while the manager can generate results.

Great video! Subscribed. Thanks for this.

wish you would post more often!!

Are you coming back to youtube?

Marcus, Thanks very much for your time and energy in putting out these videos. You have subconsciously become my mentor 😊 You give a very clear and practical perspectives to the situations which invigorates my thought process , relate to my own experiences and reflect my, previous responses. So, glad to feel your presence with every video of yours.

You briefly over what seemed to be great calendar management tactics. Is there a full video about that? I’m a new director and this an area of challenge for many new directors. Thanks! Love your videos!

Just got promoted to a management position and this is the best resource I’ve found on KZfaq so far. Just watched all your videos, sad to see you stopped posting, but thanks for the insights!

I really love your contents! I would love to see you keep making contents! This is a hidden gem channel!

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

Incredibly helpful content. Thanks for this Marcus.

The theory is great. I will be even greater with subtitles.

are you more qualified to become CTO or CEO with a tech management major than CS or SWE?

I graduated with a bachelor in tech management after completing an associates in culinary arts and another in pastry & baking arts and production management (5 years altogether). I have barely used it but I need to. I want to change my life but have no clue how to get into the field. My CV and skill set is very diverse

This is such a underrated channel and a lot of the opinions are pure gold. My guess is senior tech leadership position is so niche that most don’t realize such answers can be found on youtube

This is incredible content. Do you have your content organized in a book or course?

so touching for an excellent video

Thank you Marcus! Awesome content. Ideas for future videos - 1) talk more about scaling engineering teams 2) organizations' design/architecture?

A lot of good things in this video. You should continue!

Thanks for the new perspective. Looking forward to seeing more videos/learnings from you.
