Thank you for such a comprehensive and insightful starter kit for Engineering Managers! Your breakdown of core values and the transition from individual contributor values to leadership values is incredibly helpful.

One tip I'd like to contribute, based on personal experience, is the significance of ongoing mentorship and seeking diverse perspectives. While defining core values and leadership styles is pivotal, having mentors from various backgrounds or industries can offer invaluable insights. They can provide guidance on nuanced situations, broaden perspectives, and offer alternative approaches to leadership challenges.This also helps in networking and building a strong relationship with like-minded people.
