From Engineer to Leader: A Workshop for First-Time Tech Leaders
Transitioning from an individual contributor role to a leadership position, especially in the fast-paced tech industry, is hugely challenging. Most new leaders don't receive any training at all in the first 10 years of their new responsibilities.
Our comprehensive workshop is designed to assist new and emerging tech leaders in understanding their new roles and gaining the skills to make them confident, happy and effective leaders.
Workshop Overview
Less stress, more confidence: Focus on what you need to do by learning how to build trust and relationships, delegate work, empower others, and influence stakeholders whilst balancing strategic business and engineering objectives.
Lead with more ease: Know how to overcome challenging situations, difficult conversations and tasks with frameworks, worksheets and algorithms.
Progress your career: Invest in yourself with leadership skills that will help you bridge the gap between leading the tech and leading the people.
Key Takeaways
Participants can anticipate walking away with a rich repository of knowledge, tips, worksheets and practical strategies to embark on their leadership journey.
Andrew Murphy started his career as a Software Engineer but, after a decade in technology leadership, he decided to focus on teaching the skills that he learnt the hard way. When he moved into leadership there was no support, so he had to make all the mistakes (a lot of them!) and learn from them.
His goal is now to make sure that tech leaders don’t have to do things the hard way by providing them with the mindsets and skillsets that can make them happy, confident and effective leaders.
His company, Tech Leaders Launchpad, currently focuses specifically on the new and emerging leader space, as that's the place we can have the biggest impact on the students, and the industry.
