Why the jump into Leadership is extra hard for Developers – and what to do about it

Moving into Leadership can be the most stressful, or the most rewarding step in your career.

The big, positive impact you can have, bonuses, equity, and exclusive access to information – it’s easy to get excited about being a Leader.

Equally, it is easy to worry about delegating, giving and receiving feedback, setting and managing expectations, team culture, hiring and retaining top talent, effective hybrid or remote work, and managing redundancies or restructures.

Unlike folks in Marketing, Sales or HR, we just don't spend as much time flexing the "interpersonal skills" muscle as we build abstract and creative problem solving skills in our early career.

The good news is: Mastering Leadership does not have to be hard – there are simple concepts you already know that can be applied to managing people.

This talk has been well received by aspiring as well as established leaders. Duration can be tailored to any slot size between 30 and 60 minutes. By default, this talk includes audience engagement, but can be given without.
