From a CEO of a multi-million-dollar company that empowers working moms, this guide gives managers an inside look at what mothers really want from their leaders.
In a post-pandemic job market, creating a truly mom-supportive workplace is the ultimate competitive advantage. But there's a pervasive problem across workplaces big and small: Managers aren't asking new mothers what support they need to transition back to work successfully. At the same time, working moms are afraid to ask for help—resulting in poor employment outcomes for both parties.
The solution? Intentional and open conversation, which has to start at the managerial level. Go Ask Your Mothers is a guidebook for leaders at every level and in every sector, offering them:
● An outline of the struggles new working moms face from a lack of proper accommodations to the wide range of mental and physical postpartum challenges
● Context for why communication problems can arise between managers and moms
● A road map for initiating successful conversations with new mothers
● Proven strategies for facilitating successful transitions back to work for new moms
Microservices can be a very effective approach for delivering value to your organization and to your customers. If you get them right, microservices help you to move fast, making changes to small parts of your system hundreds of times a day. But get them wrong and microservices just make everything more complicated.
In this book, technical strategist Sarah Wells provides practical, in-depth advice for moving to microservices. Having built her first microservices architecture in 2013 for the Financial Times, Sarah discusses the approaches you need to take from the start, and explains the potential traps most likely to trip you up. You'll also learn how to maintain the architecture as your systems mature while minimizing the time you spend on support and maintenance.
With this book, you will:
- Learn the impact of microservices on software development patterns and practices
- Identify the organizational changes you need to make to successfully build and operate this architecture
- Determine the steps you must take before you move to microservices
- Understand the traps to avoid when you create a microservices architecture-and learn how to recover if you fall into one
