Software development can be a complicated process. Never mind the complexities of the technology itself; people on the team need to work together well, and that\u2019s not always easy. Fortunately, hiring managers know that \u201cgood fit\u201d is a crucial factor, and ask interview questions designed to evaluate candidates\u2019 teamwork and \u201csoft skills.\u201d <\/a>Personally, I\u2019ve been lucky: my current team works together well, despite ages that range from 29 to 59 years old. We\u2019ve managed to work smoothly together, even with the stressors that come with a release only three months away. But not every team is nearly so fortunate: Some are trapped with a \u201crockstar\u201d developer. On paper, a \u201crockstar developer\u201d sounds really good. Conventional wisdom holds that they can develop software ten times faster than other tech pros (a synonym for this kind of employee is the \u201c10x developer\u201d or \u201c10x programmer\u201d<\/a>). HR managers salivate to hire them. CEOs complain about the lack of them. Who wouldn\u2019t want to hire someone that capable? It seems almost a no-brainer. But there are reasons you should be wary of hiring someone like that, including a major one: It can upset team dynamics, whether the team in question is composed of 100 people or three. <\/p>\n

Weakening Teamwork<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Teamwork<\/a> is about playing to each other\u2019s strengths. Not everyone on a team can do everything with consummate skill; you need someone who knows a particular programming language, or even how to effectively deal with a company\u2019s overarching bureaucracy. In my career, I\u2019ve learnt about programming games, aeronautical software engineering, accounting systems, oil trading, derivative trades and real estate accounting. I\u2019ve picked up enough knowledge to get by in each area, but if you really want to become a subject-matter expert, you probably need to dedicate ten years or so to the effort. A rockstar developer is certainly a master in one area, but they\u2019re almost certainly not a high performer in every<\/em> area, despite their claims to the contrary. If they try to do too much, it can create friction with other team members who are actually experts in certain project aspects. And when that happens, overall team morale (and productivity) can quickly degrade. Alternatively, a rockstar developer may try to focus only on what they\u2019re really good at, despite their job responsibilities encompassing other areas. If they don\u2019t have time to spare for those other functions, other team members will need to put their own responsibilities aside in order to cover for the rockstar. That\u2019s also bad for the team. <\/p>\n

Demoralization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Having a rockstar on a team can be demoralizing; you feel that your performance will compare poorly, especially if your managers spend all their time talking up the rockstar\u2019s skills. If the team fails in its strategic objective, there\u2019s also the possibility that everyone except<\/em> the rockstar will end up taking the blame. <\/p>\n

Draining Credibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everyone makes mistakes (and by \u2018everyone,\u2019 we mean everyone\u2014including you). But when you believe you have found a problem with a rockstar\u2019s code, it\u2019s a tougher battle to be believed. This actually happened to me in my software engineering days. I had difficulty getting some code to work, and I blamed it on a piece of software written by the department\u2019s rockstar. Nothing happened. Two years later (and a year after I\u2019d changed jobs), a former colleague confirmed that I\u2019d been right about the bug all along. <\/p>\n

Impeding Team Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Having a rockstar on the team means that managers will favor them to take on the tougher problems. Managers usually want the software written by yesterday, so having your best programmer do the hardest problems will save time. At least, that\u2019s the thinking. The reality is that the other team members won\u2019t have the opportunity to develop their skills and work on the project to the fullest of their abilities, while the rockstar is (usually) overloaded from the first day. And it\u2019s also a bit of a vicious circle. The more development is put on the rockstar, then the less cohesive the team overall. <\/p>\n

Lengthening Recovery Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inevitably, there will come a time when the rockstar leaves. Whatever the reason behind their departure, the rest of the team will need to pick up the pieces. If the rockstar was managing the bulk of the coding, however, that recovery will take even more time, as the rest of the team won\u2019t have the necessary institutional knowledge to seamlessly reconstitute the key parts of the project. <\/p>\n

Is There Anything You Can Do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What you want to build is a rockstar team: Not a team of rockstars, but a team that works well, supports individuals, and gets problems solved without relying too much on a single worker. A lot of this is ultimately up to whomever is managing the team. But even if you\u2019re not team leader, you can facilitate things for your team and the \u201crockstar\u201d by emphasizing the need for communication and clear goals. It\u2019s often miscommunication and goal misalignment that leads to insurmountable friction; honesty and transparency are cultural values that will allow a team to transcend its members and accomplish something great. If you\u2019re in a management position, emphasize to the rockstar that they need to help their colleagues; let them know that team-oriented results are the ultimate goal. By aligning their individual goals with that of the team, they\u2019ll hopefully help you drive every project forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
