Session: No Manager Is An Island
This talk is about the concept of an engineering manager First Team. A First Team embodies the idea that as a manager your teammates are your peers and not those reporting to you. As engineers we do our best work in teams, why would that change as engineering managers? By fostering a team dynamic among engineering managers you can improve alignment, expedite learning and growth, and empower yourself and your team as you become the best manager you can be.
