What should be the right way of doing engineering leadership? I have noticed, that under my leadership, the more hard working my fellow junior developers are, the more re-work and review I end-up doing to/for/with them, which actually make the productivity of the whole team down and burns me out.

Should I just assign even less work to them? Or should I stop mentoring them?

When you say mentoring, what do you mean? 🐶🐾🫡

If you give them work that doesn’t match their level and you end up redoing it, then you already should see the problem here. Start from things they should be able to accomplish with little assistance, and the continue with the “boil the frog” method! 🐶🐾🫡

Good point. I need to adjust my expectations.
