Having your work measured as an individual can be scary – it can stir up feelings of being under a microscope or trigger fears of falling short.

As leaders, we often find that IC metrics get a bad rap due to these very understandable concerns, and may avoid them altogether. However, it’s possible when employed thoughtfully in collaboration with our ICs, metrics can actually enhance our ability to support them and deliver meaningful value together.

In this talk, I’ll discuss how I worked with my ICs to develop a space where the use of metrics felt less intimidating and more like a valuable tool for growth. Join me where I will share how we  experimented with our development metrics to gain a new level of transparent conversation around job satisfaction, burnout prevention, self advocacy, and healthier team dynamics.
