Being a manager of a technical team is harder than regular management because of the balance required to be both a leader and contributor. In this episode, Zoe Rose, Dominik Pickhardt, and David Penaloza join Tom Hollingsworth to discuss the challenges of being a manager of a technical team. They talk about promoting good talent into management and the shift in thinking required to be a team leader and not just a high performer. They also discuss the soft skills needed to be a good manager and how those can be developed through training.
