the most difficult interviews are interviews where you have to cook up stuffs and use jargons like “ VUCA” and constrained innovation blah blah. Give the gold medal to the dev team please.

Great answer - there's not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to leading technical teams.

Thanks Exponent for creating this video, great insight for engineering management. Very detail answer.

what a discussion, very thankful to you for uploading this.

All this is just hollow talk. Nobody is going to buy these answers in real interview unless you are able to back it up with concrete believable examples. And most people just don't have real life experiences catering to these scenarios.

Thanks for this discussion, Can you please help understand what is WWW-WBI framework. Thanks for asking the followup question on SBI framework, definitely something to learn.

Hey Saurabh, glad you found the video interesting! WWW-EBI is a workplace coaching tip. WWW, which stands for "What went well?" and focuses on the positive aspects of our work. It encourages us to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work and achievements of our team members. By highlighting what went well, we create a supportive and uplifting environment that boosts morale and motivates everyone to continue their excellent work. On the other hand, EBI, which stands for "Even better if ____", is a great way to foster a growth mindset among team members. It encourages us to identify areas for improvement and view them as exciting opportunities for growth. By keeping this positive perspective, we can constantly strive for excellence and push ourselves to reach new heights. Overall, incorporating WWW-EBI into workplace coaching not only nurtures a culture of appreciation and recognition but also fosters a continuous improvement mindset that propels both individual and team success.

Do interviewers get trapped by just jargon words of leadership style, lead by example etc ? People want real work example rather than jargons and blah blah words
