How are we, as ICs, supposed to build leadership skills when most education opportunities are aimed at managers?
As IC leaders, we must work with product and engineering managers, mentor others, build relationships, impact the business, understand organizational politics, and more. It is a never-ending list of behaviors and skills we need to acquire.
In this workshop, I will present the typical responsibilities in our roles and practical tips to improve within them. Separated into conversation groups, we will brainstorm different work situations for mutual learning and implement key concepts learned immediately. After the workshop, you can recognize opportunities to showcase your leadership skills. You will be equipped to become a true leader in your company while remaining a strong technical IC.
