What really matters.

Efficiency

Use battle tested methods from 15 years of experience to see results as fast as possible.
It's easy once you have seen it work multiple times in small & large context.

Costs

Often infrastructure costs are 50-70% higher than necessary.
Within 4 months, such costs can be saved while at the same time the infrastructure becomes easier to maintain.

Leadership

Leadership is about understanding the balance between power & responsibility. It's about giving control to people and about building flows that work without daily micro-management.

FAQ.

Why is leadership so important?

Because 90% of all issues in your company are due to poor leadership. Most issues (in my career) can be traced back to leadership issues and miscommunication within the leadership team.
Solving these, will automatically solve many underlaying issues as well. Focus on solving the root cause before anything else. Strongly recommend watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivwKQqf4ixA

Are you going to change everything from day one?

No, that is not professional.
First we have to analyze the existing dynamics and processes.
Then I will present my analysis and show which changes I would make and why, before making them.
While this sounds like it takes a lot of time, it doesn't. Usually a few weeks up to 1 month.
It's necessary to work with precision and be as efficient as possible once implementing change - otherwise we risk losing trust with the employees.

Can any engineering team be improved?

Yes. But... some need to get replaced before things can get better. It's hard but necessary before true change can set in and efficiency becomes the new normal.

Do other departments also need to adapt?

Often yes.
For example, the product team needs to work smoothly with the engineering teams but that is often not the case!
That can have many causes but the goal is the same - become an efficient team and work on things that move the needle instead of wasting time.
Using battle tested processes and transformations methods can lead to improvements quickly.

Why do you believe a good leader should strive to become unnecessary?

A good leader is one who creates a system that can work without control - simply the process itself should suffice to allow people to lead and succeed.
Leaders should never become a bottleneck once the number of employees increases (when you scale your business).
A good leader creates a "distributed system of humans", which cooperate based on rules, processes and concepts WITHOUT a leader coordinating them (aka. micro managing).
That is when the magic happens and productivity kicks in.
