My email is not recognised or, having signed in, it says I do not have access to the content
Double check your ticket to make sure that you are trying to access with the correct email address (see below for where to find your ticket).
If you're sure that the ticket is correct, get in touch via Slack and we'll investigate for you
The verification email does not arrive
Check your spam and/or junk folders for the email. We know that some corporate email firewalls block our emails, and in this case you'll need to get in touch (see below) for us to move your ticket to an alternative email address.
The verification email link does not work
The links are time limited, so make sure you've tried in the last few minutes. If not, some corporate email firewalls have occasionally corrupted the verification links, and in this case you'll need to get in touch (see below) for us to move your ticket to an alternative email address.
Where can I find my ticket?
Your ticket will have been emailed to you from support@tito.io (Tito is our ticketing provider). If you don't have an email from Tito with your ticket, check with the person who made the booking originally. Otherwise, get in touch and we'll be able to help.
Getting help
The quickest way to get support is via our #help-desk channel on Slack (not a member of LeadDev Slack? join here.)
You can also email hello@leaddev.com although response times will be slower.
You have made it to a position of engineering leadership for a host of reasons. Chief amongst them is, no doubt, your ability to come up with good ideas; so you should continue being the one who comes up with the great ideas now you’re in a leadership role. Well – maybe sometimes, but generally not.
I’m an engineering leader with a few years experience of providing technical leadership to multiple teams, and my biggest weakness is a tendency to evangelise my great ideas to teams before they’ve even had a chance to consider the problem I’m trying to solve.
In my talk I will explain that this is generally a pretty bad idea; it won’t surface the best ideas and it doesn’t let more junior engineers develop their skills. Instead, I introduce some steps you can take to make sure that the idea adopted to solve a problem is the best idea available, even if you aren’t the one who came up with it. Perhaps counter-intuitively I will show how this increases your influence in your organisation and sets everyone up for success.
You will come away from this talk aware of some natural behaviours that you may not even be aware that you are doing that, rather than bringing out the best ideas, unconsciously serves to suppress them by biasing people to your solution.
