Engineering Leadership Warsaw

Thanks to everyone who made it to last Wednesday's Engineering Leadership Warsaw event, which was focused on "Managing Through Change". We made some time to meet and network, and we followed that up with presentations from Sebastian Możdżeń (Allegro) and Rachna Shah (Asana) which covered case studies, frameworks, and tips for leading technical, process, and organizational change. We ended the evening with a panel discussion moderated by Jeff Miller (Asana). The common thread throughout all of our discussion was the value of bringing the people who will experience change along and treating them with empathy. Missed this event? Check out this amazing video from Jan Pietka (EB LAB) that captured the energy and engagement. And special thanks to our hosts Teresa Bęben-Bublik and Allegro!

Thanks to the ~40 people who made it out to our Eng Leadership Warsaw event this past Tuesday on "Growing beyond senior eng management." We kicked things off with a structured icebreaker / speed networking activity, featuring the cards shown below. Then we heard from our panel, moderated by Michał Nowotka, with Lukasz Jakobiec, Ryan Atkins, and Piotr Zarowny. We discussed how the notion of one's "first" team evolves as you rise through leadership, how managing managers is both easier and more complicated than managing individual contributors, and the trade-offs involved with increasing the breadth while decreasing the depth of your scope. Special thanks to our host Jakub Brzostek and SimCorp. If you attended the event, and haven't yet given us feedback, please take to minutes to fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/gDyh5nhN We're planning to be back with our next event in late July.

Thanks everyone for coming out to last Thursday's Engineering Leadership Warsaw event in which we talked about Growing and Managing Staff Engineers. We had nearly 50 people attendance and we tried something different this time around with small breakout groups of 5-7 people and that seemed to work really well. Big thank you to Alex Peda and Tomasz Fiechowski for presenting, to Nataliya Pasichnyk, Michał Matusiak, Marcin Kuc, and Jakub Brzostek for facilitating breakout groups, to Anna Alieksieieva and Ryan Atkins for producing the event, and to Asana Warsaw for hosting us. Lastly, massive thanks to Jan Pietka for capturing some highlights in this amazing 2-min video recap of the event: If you attended this event, what were some of your favorite discussion topics on growing or managing staff engineers? What did you think of the breakout groups? We'll circle back soon to share more resources from the event and with information on our next event, as we're still locking down the details.
