What is expected of a Engineering Manager? · Rodrigo Flores's Corner

This is a concise, and easy to digest view of the role of an engineering manager.

the three things I expect from an engineering manager are:

1. Support the members of your team and help them grow.
2. Follow along the deliveries, setting quality standards, making sure the team has the support they need and upper management the feedback they need.
3. Keep a constant practice of creating, improving or eliminating team or company processes.

I would agree with those three as the fundamentals. I think you can layer on additional aspects too, but get those three things first.
