Team health & happiness

Taking care of your team and helping people to deliver and grow to their full potential is an important part of the Engineering Manager role.

An effective Engineering Manager coaches members on achieving goals and developing necessary skills that get results. Coaching involves developing team members' performance, giving feedback (both positive and areas of improvements) and creating engagement around the company and the product(s) they are working on. Giving them the opportunity to grow in their role and in the company.

Expectations

• Recognizes individual - and team successes.

• Recruiting and onboarding new team members as well as retaining existing co‑workers.

Behaviors

Behaviors are a collection of expectations and development areas for Team Leads that do not fall into the categories of Product delivery and Team health & happiness. They encompass a range of core skills that we expect Team Leads at LeoVegas to embody.

Through your behavior, you set an example for those around you. By modeling great behaviors you lead by example and by being self‑aware you know when you are setting a great example. Your behaviors show that you're growing good habits and cultivating qualities that make an excellent Team Lead rather than unintentionally doing the \'right thing\' by luck.
