Join us at AND Digital for an evening of networking and shared experiences as we bring the Software Engineering Leadership @ WRK series back to Leeds this March to share experiences around how to successfully adapt to a leadership position.
The aim of the meetup is to bring the immensely talented Software Engineering community together to support each other with meaningful connections and shared knowledge. Anyone with an interest in the events subject matter is welcome to join us on the night.
📣 March’s meetup is ‘Do repeat yourself – How to move from Development into Leadership’ – facilitated by Luke Stringer, Tech Lead, AND Digital
As a developer moving into a leadership role for the first time it can be tough, confusing, and at times overwhelming. This was certainly the case for Luke. He discovered that the principles he had once followed when building software were no longer effective as a leader. However, after a few years he can confidently say that becoming a leader is one of the most fulfilling things he’s done. In this talk you will learn some of the ways to adapt your developer skillset to that of a tech lead, and Luke will share his observations in making these adjustments. We’ll look at how the problems you need to solve are suddenly very unfamiliar, with incentives that are often the reverse to what you’ve been used to. If you’ve had similar experiences or are considering a move into leadership yourself, this talk is for you. You will leave with an number of effective strategies for becoming an effected leader, while remaining kind to yourself and others.
We encourage experienced leaders to be part of the discussion and share their hints and tips on the evening.
