Developing Software Engineers into Leaders: My Approach at Uber, as an Engineering Manager

Imagine a team with no tech leads. A team, where junior engineers lead projects. This is what I did, at Uber.

When I moved from engineering to engineering management, I wanted to build a team where everyone can be a leader - and everyone would act as an owner. A group where every member has the skills, confidence, and empowerment to take initiative, make decisions, and lead others. Where, when people saw problems, they would think, "let me take the lead in solving this issue." I wanted to do this because I believed it would lead to better execution, faster professional growth, and people staying with the team longer.
