🖤 We don’t see enough support and help out there for Managers, so it was amazing to land on this page on Posthog’s handbook. They’ve given a heap of attention to managers here, but also taken the time to actually explain what ‘manager’ as a concept means to them. They also talk about how teams work, how 1:1s work too (theres a template link there too) as well as reading and resource recommendations. Really nice work Posthog!

Team leads are responsible for making sure the team performs well. That includes things like setting context and direction within the team, and making sure the processes and rituals the team uses work well. Like everyone else, team leads should give the people in their team frequent direct feedback.
Team leads should make sure sprints take place on a regular basis, and are conducted transparently. Setting direction means the team leads finalize the sprint priorities. It's ok for team members to change what they picked to work on during the sprint, but it's the team leads' responsibility to help make sure team members have the right context to make good decisions if they change plan, and that everyone starts the sprint pointing in the right direction.
A manager at PostHog has two tasks:
