要成長為領導者，專注於只有你能做的事，例如規劃和技術方向。避免成為瓶頸，例如單獨擁有複雜功能開發或團隊流程。通過指導和委派，幫助團隊成員提升技能，這樣他們可以獨立解決問題，使你有更多時間專注於更大的技術問題和領導職責​

One of the biggest challenges Troutt faced during her career was realising that she had created a bottleneck for her team, and that it was holding her back and holding her teams back too. The solution she applied was to help her team build the skills and expertise needed to carry out what she was previously single-handedly owning (like complex feature dev, team processes, platform release coordination, etc) so that she wasn’t a bottleneck anymore.

As a team leader, she learned to help other engineers grow to become leaders as well, in order for them to be able to plan and implement features independently, to triage production issues, and to be able to think and act without her.
