- I recognise dysfunction in my team and work effectively to resolve it in a timely manner.
- I listen to different perspectives and I remove biases from my words and actions
- I create an inclusive environment for my team where it’s safe to speak up
- I create an emotionally and psychologically safe environment for the team to allow everyone to be themselves at work and to express their ideas and opinions without negative consequences.
- I create a sense of connection for individuals in my team by ensuring everyone has repeated, frequent and predictable access to their colleagues and mentors

<summary>Examples</summary>

- I ensured that a junior developer on our team had access to a mentor, myself as their manager, and their colleagues on a scheduled, frequent cadence to allow them to feel consistently connected with the team.
- I helped a team member feel more certain about their role by outlining my clear expectations of them in their role in a 1:1 situation.
- I created a space with my team members where they can talk with me about problems they're facing without me having to taking any actions, allowing them a safe space to express what's on their mind without concern of it becoming a larger issue.
- I gave permission to a team member to give me feedback, allowing myself to be vulnerable and open the door to feedback to allow me to improve or change my ways.
- I acknowledged that there is a power dynamic between myself and a junior engineer, but was able to listen to that team member and use my position to advocate for their needs.

I love these 💯

💭 I'm not sure if they fit better here, or in Leadership / Everyone? For example, Everyone has this on feedback.

  • I acknowledged that there is a power dynamic between myself and a junior engineer, but was able to listen to that team member and use my position to advocate for their needs.

💭 For this Example, is there a way we could describe an even more concrete scenario that fits this pattern?

## L5 Senior Engineering Manager

> I am an experienced Engineering Manager that leads one or more teams of engineers to deliver direct business impact. My manager can "set and forget" when it comes to my team, knowing that I can solve most problems independently using a robust managerial toolbox, and will keep them in the loop.
