Back in the Loop: The Importance of Staying Technical in Leadership
One of the toughest challenges you face as an engineering leader is that your team’s technical knowledge can continuously diverge from your own.
It can become easy to lose touch because you spend so little time solving technical issues or dealing with the problems facing engineers day-to-day.
This talk will explore how you can overcome this challenge, why it’s important to invest time in your technical skills, how to get it done when you’re inundated with meetings, and why getting back in the loop could be the key to making better decisions and building a stronger team.
