What do you mean there’s no onboarding plan for engineering managers?

Research and development organizations understand the importance of an onboarding process for new engineers. But what about engineering managers?

How do you set up a leader, who is either a promoted employee or a new hire, to succeed? What are the long-term implications of how this happens? 

In this talk, I’ll share my four-week onboarding process for engineering leads that emphasizes peopleware, tech leadership, and delivery management. I’ll provide a behind-the-scenes look at this super adaptable process which uses a framework of “sessions” and “experiences”, sharing everything from my mistakes to my insights.

You will leave this talk with knowledge on:

• A comprehensive outline of an onboarding process for engineering leaders 
• How to center peopleware, core leadership skills, and delivery management throughout onboarding
• Common onboarding mistakes and how to mitigate them
