As AI transforms the way software gets built, leadership can evolve from managing output to enabling creativity. This session explores how engineering leaders can foster cultures where developers thrive as innovators, partnering with AI systems instead of competing with them. Attendees will learn how to guide teams beyond automation toward augmentation, leveraging agentic coding tools to amplify human problem-solving and accelerate delivery. Drawing from real-world experiences in code quality automation, developer relations, and AI strategy, this talk reimagines software leadership as creative enablement. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to elevate their teams’ skills, strengthen technical culture, and future-proof their organizations in the age of agentic software.
