Talk Abstract: 谈话摘要:

Your job title says "software engineer", but you seem to spend most of your time in meetings. You'd like to have time to code, but nobody else is onboarding the junior engineers, updating the roadmap, talking to the users, noticing the things that got dropped, asking questions on design documents, and making sure that everyone's going roughly in the same direction. If you stop doing those things, the team won't be as successful. But now someone's suggesting that you might be happier in a less technical role. If this describes you, congratulations: you're the glue. If it's not, have you thought about who is filling this role on your team?
你的职称是“软件工程师”,但你似乎大部分时间都花在会议上。您希望有时间编写代码,但没有其他人来培训初级工程师、更新路线图、与用户交谈、注意遗漏的内容、询问有关设计文档的问题,并确保每个人都大致了解情况相同的方向。如果你停止做这些事情,团队就不会那么成功。但现在有人建议你担任技术含量较低的职位可能会更快乐。如果这描述了你,那么恭喜你:你就是粘合剂。如果不是,您是否想过谁在您的团队中担任这个角色?

Every senior person in an organisation should be aware of the less glamorous - and often less-promotable - work that needs to happen to make a team successful. Managed deliberately, glue work demonstrates and builds strong technical leadership skills. Left unconscious, it can be career limiting. It can push people into less technical roles and even out of the industry.
组织中的每一位高级人员都应该意识到,要使团队取得成功,需要进行一些不那么光鲜亮丽、通常也不太晋升的工作。经过精心管理,胶水工作展示并建立了强大的技术领导能力。如果不自觉地这样做,可能会限制职业生涯。它可以将人们推向技术含量较低的角色,甚至退出该行业。

Let's talk about how to allocate glue work deliberately, frame it usefully and make sure that everyone is choosing a career path they actually want to be on.
让我们谈谈如何有意识地分配粘合工作,有效地构建它,并确保每个人都选择他们真正想要的职业道路。
