…or 11, or 30, or after 15 years

Are you tired of giving your all to your team, only to have your developers seem disengaged, uninterested, or even leave? People tend to leave bosses, not jobs and perception is not always reality. Sometimes giving your all does not mean to others what it means to yourself. It could be that one’s “giving it all” is another’s “mailing it in”. Perhaps you consider yourself an expert communicator. However, what if your communication style is at complete odds with the rest of the team?

Managing expectations and perception vs. reality and mastering communication styles are just a few of the ways we can strengthen relationships and mitigate developer turnover. In this session, I would like to discuss the reasons why people leave bosses. Similar to how exploring our past helps with our future, exploring how to lose developers can help find ways to keep them.

Spoiler Alert: It may turn out that YOU are a big part of the problem.
