Of course, it is not always possible to avoid over-committing as sometimes the business calls for it.
Well that sounds like lazy acceptance of a bad situation for your team.
No mention of fighting for better terms for the team. If the business calls for over-committing you team, you or someone else in management have failed. Such a commitment may be indeed be unavoidable in that situation, but your job as a manager is to fight for your team to be additionally compensated for such an over-commitment.
Never, I will never stop coding. My manager has been trying to pull me into admin, but I put my foot down at team lead. I leave the staff management to my manager. That's as far as I go up the ladder lol, fuck off with your management bullshit
This is article has some solid advice from a manager with 3 years in the trenches. It's always good to have more voices sharing the their experience for others facing similar decisions.
