Delegation is a journey tech leads have to grow into.

After training and coaching more than 400 tech leads, one pattern appears again and again: many start out unsure what to delegate, afraid of losing control, and spread across everything to make sure nothing goes wrong. It often feels quicker and safer to do the work themselves, even as the role becomes overwhelming.

In this lightning talk, Anemari Fiser shares a tech lead’s delegation journey grounded in real coaching and training examples. The talk follows the shift from holding on too tightly, to taking small, intentional steps toward delegation, building trust in people, and learning how to delegate ownership instead of just tasks.

The journey ends with what delegation looks like when it works: a more autonomous team, clearer ownership, and a tech lead who can focus on the few responsibilities that truly need their attention.

This session offers a concise, honest look at how delegation evolves - and how tech leads can move forward without losing control, quality, or credibility.
