Yet Another Level: Team Lead 2023.10.19

Interesting. event It's from Yandex on Team Leaders, which had three presentations that I watched yesterday in traffic on the way home and today on the way to work. Notable is the strong composition of participants and topics built on increasing - how to grow the team, how to develop in this role and where to grow further:) If we talk a little more about the reports, they are

1. "Without the top: growing the teamlids correctly" Anastasia Abrashitova, who leads the repository tool service at Yandex Infrastructure. Interestingly, Nastya is very productive - the day before she played the role of moderator at the event. DevPlatform Party (by Yandex Infrastructure) #4 from 2023.10.17which I was talking about earlierAnd now in the role of speaker I talked about the team. By the way, the report at this event is associated with the speechThe most woolen wolf: teamlid with a technical role and withoutIt was the most popular in Teamlead Conf. In a new presentation, Nastya talked about how to make growth in the position of the teamlid in the format of a controlled experiment, which has a goal, measurement criteria, a clear process of summing up the results of the experiment. The result is a predictable and safe growth process. Nastya’s answers to audience questions are also interesting, for example, about the selfish approach to deciding whether to be a team leader when you are forced to take an empty place:)

2. "How do you assess success in your role?" from Olga Eliseeva, Head of Technical Directorate of Jet Infosystem. This report gives a specific list of areas to pay attention to the team leader. (business, team and people, processes, the person), as well as questions from these areas, which will help the team leader to reflect on how successfully it copes with its role. Here are the tools that can help: feedback (personal 360)assessment of own competences, IPR, diary of achievements and failures.

3. "How and Where to Grow a TeamlidRoman Ivliev, Program Director of TeamLead Conf. In this report, Roma talked about where the thymlid can grow and whether it is worth growing at all. To do this, you need to start with answers to the questions: “are you ready to pull more”, “are you ready to move further away from your favorite business”, “are you ready to spend time on continuous learning” and “are you ready to finally lose friends?” If so, then you can choose a trajectory or track, as Roma called them. He considered three options: an engineering track. (Individual contributor)CTO track and humanitarian track. Then we talked about vertical and horizontal growth, growth within the company or through market entry. Roma goes on to ask questions about how to understand what growth is, how to broaden your horizons and how to accelerate growth. Next, Roma gives real examples of career growth and it seems there in the examples he mentions me, as we managed to work together at Banki.ru, where Roma was my leader. (This is where I talked about my experience. thymlid).

P.S. This year, I was giving a report.How to Hire Technical Managers " at Teamlead Conf. There I was talking about our expectations of the teammates and the guys higher and recommended A large list of materials where there are many links to my speeches and articles about technical supervisors:)
