Description:
Considering a promotion into management? Sadly, many companies top out the pay grades of their best technologists, leaving you with no choice but to move into management if you want to see continued salary growth. But the skills that made you a successful technologist are not the skills you will need to be a successful manager.
This session will introduce you the most essential and fundamental skills needed to effectively lead a technology team. While management and business books could fill an entire wing of a good bookstore, this session covers the high points of what you need to be on your way. Topics include building skills in motivation, conflict resolution, good communication and assessing progress for both team members and projects. Attendees will also learn best practices for handling ten tricky scenarios, such as:
- How to launch a team and keep the members of that team focused and motivated
- How to resolve conflicts, address performance problems, and handle project and job misstep
- How to gain support for your ideas, earn upper management support, and communicate with top management
- How to deal with a problem boss or a difficult subordinate
You can spend a fortune earning an MBA or a lifetime reading the latest trendy book on management philosophy. Why not get started by learning these time-tested and research-proven methods for managing technical teams.

Great session on Team Management. This was something that I was always wanted to learn.
Despite a bad time slice (at least for my timezone) Kevin delivered with an excellent presentation about managing a team. The best part was even team members could walk away from the session with key points like learning how to delegate and prevent becoming the constant go to man which could block further promotion.

Great information, and great presentation. Kevin delivered a solid message about technical team management, though the lessons could be applied to other nontechnical areas as well. Great job!

hary A nice green gel sole completes the package. These also came with the silver Chanel Handbags premium keychain. Best shoes i've brought for ages, the grip is unbeleivable can stop and turn on a dime, they fit perfectly and my feet are never sore after playing Air Jordan Shoes in them.I have read some of the bad reviews and I will write again in a few weeks or after my track season to see how they wear.. These premium Michael Jordan Shoes were only available on Chanels in 2006 and were not available in stores. Retail on them was Juicy Couture Bags and a matching shirt was released alongside them as well. They feature a nice all patent leather upper with no Juicy Couture Bag on the toe but some stars are pictured in their place.
