Full-day Workshop Managing and Leading Teams in Tech – Without Losing Your Mind

Managing and Leading Teams in Tech is extra hard – because as Individual Contributors, people in Tech don’t hone their skills to solve ‘people problems’ nearly as much as working their ‘technical problems’ muscles.
So what does ‘good’ look like when it comes to leading Teams in Tech? How can you build and sustain confidence in yourself, and confidence of your stakeholders? And how can you create a safe and engaging team culture?
Those are the questions you will learn to answer during this workshop. You will take away some of the best practices used by Leaders at organisations such as Google, Atlassian, Zip, Sendle and CultureAmp every day to get the best out of their teams.
Last but not least, you will understand how to grow yourself as a leader on an ongoing basis.
And the best part? It’s all delivered in a very practical way, with real life case studies and role play to practise what you learn in a safe space instead of having to ‘test in prod’.
Who is this workshop for:
- New-ish Leaders in engineering, design, product or delivery functions who want to make sure they survive the transition into Leadership without burnout.
- Aspiring Leaders in Tech who want to accelerate their career by learning and getting recognised for key leadership skills.
- Established Leaders who never had formal training and find themselves struggling in situations such as having to give tough feedback or managing up.
