Tackling software engineering leaders' dual mandate

In this talk, Hywel will discuss the skills needed as engineers progress on different career paths (both technical leadership and people management), and how they can be learned outside the ‘production environment’ of the team.

One of the toughest challenges you face as an engineering leader is staying current while preparing yourself and your teams for change.

This talk is little about why you need to say No to people more, and how things can go wrong when you don’t learn to do it enough. 

This talk offers the perspective of a Staff Technical Program manager as the first one hired in a company, deconstructing the evolutionary journey that paved the way for hiring more of them.
