The landscape of technology leadership has shifted dramatically in recent years, challenging even the most seasoned engineering leaders to adapt.

This talk explores the evolution of the engineering leadership role from the growth-focused 2010s to today’s environment of increased scrutiny and accountability.

We’ll discuss six skills that have become essential: financial acumen, operational efficiency, strategic prioritization, change management, metrics-driven decision-making, and stakeholder management. This talk aims to provide senior engineering leaders with a framework for self-reflection and a roadmap for personal development. By embracing these new skills, leaders can effectively guide their teams and organizations through the complexities of today’s tech landscape.
