Technical documentation - how can I write them better and why should I care?

Learn a humane approach to managing underperforming team members, with strategies for setting expectations, providing direct feedback, fostering growth, and handling tough conversations with compassion.

In this talk, Hywel will discuss the skills needed as engineers progress on different career paths (both technical leadership and people management), and how they can be learned outside the ‘production environment’ of the team.

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.

n this talk, Mitra Raman will take a look at the many paths that engineers can take on their leadership journey.
