The Bottleneck Test

Vinay Perneti, VP of Engineering at Augment, learned the hard way that being the go-to problem solver was actually "diminishing the intelligence" of his team.  Years ago at Pure Storage, his manager's brutal feedback forced him to develop the "Bottleneck Test": a framework he uses to scale teams at Augment in the fast-moving AI space.  For his one idea, he shares how to diagnose if you're accidentally blocking your team and the specific questions that transform dependence into ownership. We cover: The Bottleneck Test: three diagnostic questions to know if you're accidentally blocking your team Why being off the critical path isn't passive and how to coach without giving answers The one-week experiment where you only ask questions and give zero answers When to jump in and solve a problem yourself and how to do it without undermining your team Using LLMs as thought partners to reflect on your leadership   Check out Suresh's idea: The Self-Driving Cloud™ Learn how Sedai can make your cloud autonomous → https://www.sedai.io/
