Without knowing how or where to provide higher-level vision, strategy and flow management, leaders often find themselves working at the operational level, or, using the metaphor of “flight levels,” in a state of "level collapse." Smells for this include: micromanagement, creating work-item tickets, attending team-level meetings and and a lack of vision and strategy.

It's a double-whammy of productivity killing because it strips people working at the operational level (Level 1) of their autonomy and empowerment, but it also impoverishes the coordination and strategic levels (Levels 2 and 3), where end-to-end and intent-based leadership and is desperately needed in order for operational activities to thrive.

In this session, you will learn how to recognize and overcome "level collapse" behaviors in leadership. Discover strategies to transition from micromanagement to provide higher-level vision, strategy, and flow management to optimize end-to-end flow and connect your teammates to strategy, in turn empowering your team and making your own job more about why you got into tech in the first place.
