Managing multiple teams can stretch, stress and scare first time managers and established leaders. Books help cover the theory, but leave us with a gap in their application. This talk presents pragmatic leadership principles and simple tools to enable leaders manage at scale. By comparing the principles of engineering management, to those of managing a massively distributed eco-system, this talk provides a simple and jovial perspective on management.

The intent is to equip leaders with easily applicable and re-usable patterns to help build happy, functional teams.
