Brian Slezak reposted thisBrian Slezak reposted thisManaging developers is less about tickets and more about trust. They’ll miss deadlines. They’ll chase the wrong problem. They’ll over-engineer a toaster. But they’ll also ship quietly at 11pm. Stay up debugging something no one else noticed. And teach the new hire how not to panic. Build a team that trusts each other. The code will follow. #EngineeringLeadership #DeveloperExperience #TrustTheProcess #SoftwareTeams #WorkCulture

Brian Slezak reposted thisBrian Slezak reposted thisCompany culture is just as important as the bottom line, if you have a toxic culture you'll lose... People are the driving force behind your business, and creating a positive and empowering culture is essential for the success of your business. That means you have to understand what your employees want at a deep level. You have to be constantly adapting to their needs and what they want from the organization. For example, one of my employees might want higher pay when he’s 24. But maybe he falls in love at 28 and decides he wants to spend more time with his family. Another might be more interested in a fancy title. Another might want to get access to me and build a relationship. Another might want to go to one of our international offices and work there. There are a million different variables, and it’s on you as a leader to adjust to reality as it changes. Culture is not something you can just hang on a wall and call it a day. A strong culture is built through consistent actions and decision-making. Either you care about your culture because you actually understand it... or you just say it because it looks 'good' and you actually don't care and you just care about your short term money. Don't underestimate the power of investing in your employees. It's not just the right thing to do, it's also a smart business move.

Brian Slezak reposted thisBrian Slezak reposted thisThe brutal truth about your "great" business idea: It's pretty meaningless. Here's why: Ideas are easy. Execution is hard. A decent idea with great execution? Worth 10x more than a great idea poorly executed. The harsh reality: 1. Ideas are abundant 2. Most people can't execute 3. The market doesn't care about ideas 4. Execution separates the winners Want to succeed? Do this: 1. Ship MVP products 2. Get customer feedback ASAP 3. Use that feedback to improve it 4. Ship again, get more feedback, repeat Remember: Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. Stop planning. Start doing. Here's my take on pushing through the "hard" & starting: https://lnkd.in/eihm3Z5S What's one idea you can start executing today?

Brian Slezak liked thisBrian Slezak liked thisWhy I started Senior Move Management While working as a Senior Living Advisor, I discovered something unexpected — a true passion. That passion is helping people navigate some of the most overwhelming and emotional decisions of their lives. The greatest compliment I ever received was: "I feel so much better after talking to you." But there was always one piece missing. I could guide families through the decision of where to go… but I couldn’t help them with everything that came next — the logistics, the downsizing, the packing, the actual move itself. And that part?That’s often the most stressful. So I created Senior Move Management. My goal is to provide every solution a transition requires — from thoughtful pre-planning to move day coordination and even follow-up after the boxes are unpacked. I want families to feel supported, organized, and confident — not overwhelmed. Most of all, I want to continue hearing those words: "I feel so much better." When you work with me, you and your loved ones are in capable, compassionate hands. I will be there every step of the way — as your advocate, your steady guide, and your biggest supporter.

Brian Slezak reacted on thisBrian Slezak reacted on thisEveryone wants a 10x engineer… until they get one. Companies love the idea of 10x developers—those who ship faster, unblock teams, architect long-term solutions, and challenge assumptions. But here’s the truth most won’t say out loud: You’re probably not ready for them. Because 10x engineers don’t just write more code—they question the culture, ignore arbitrary rules, and optimize systems, not egos. They expect autonomy, clarity of mission, and the freedom to think differently. They value impact over appearances. And no, they won’t sit quietly through another Slack thread debating bike shed colors. Sometimes their mindset will make people uncomfortable. They’ll ask the questions no one wants to answer. They’ll challenge sacred cows. They’ll debate things others avoid—not to be difficult, but to make things better. But most orgs aren’t built for that. They want the output but not the mindset. They want innovation but keep enforcing legacy compensation bands. They want leadership but micromanage every sprint. Hiring a 10x engineer means paying a 10x price— Not just in salary, but in trust, flexibility, and cultural evolution. You can’t attract outliers by offering average. And you won’t keep them by treating them like everyone else. If you really want 10x impact, start by asking: Is our company even set up to support that kind of thinking?
