According to a CareerBuilder study, only 40% of new tech leaders receive formal training when they become a boss for the first time. The rest are forced to get scrappy to quickly equip themselves with new skills, techniques, and mindsets to effectively transition into their new roles.
This workshop was designed to fill this gap; providing tactical techniques and resources for both new and seasoned technical leaders!
In this full day workshop, you will learn how successfully navigate the complexities of Engineering Management. Topics include:
Purposeful leadership, emotional intelligence, self awareness, time management, prioritizing the right things, social styles, giving feedback, career conversations, 1:1s, psychological safety, recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, measuring team metrics, motivation, engagement, team building, and building sustainable relationships.
Interactive group exercises will help you practice these new ideas and techniques in a safe and engaging environment.
You will leave with new perspectives on Engineering Management, as well as handouts and plenty of resources to grow and further develop skills in your daily work.
Please download (and print if possible) the handout before joining this workshop! (located with session slides).
