July 26, 2021

As a senior manager, you’ll likely have to manage a senior IC – and this is really different from managing more junior counterparts. The person you’re managing might be more senior than you, or equal in seniority – but by the nature of your role, you’ll often control how much they are paid, when they’re promoted, and if they’re satisfied in their job.

In this panel, we’ll explore the senior IC <> manager relationship, thinking about how to create a mutually beneficial partnership. We’ll explore how to support senior ICs, thinking about workload and growth opportunities, and navigate the more complex parts of your relationship.
